Review: A Little Rebellion Is a Good Thing by Duncan Clarke, read by Charlie Boswell
A Little Rebellion Is a Good Thing, Troubles at Traymore College by Duncan Clarke is a great novel that fictionalizes some real events from the author’s earlier life, transforming all into a strong message about repression, friendship and equality for everyone.
When a young professor is hired at a remote women only college to teach Political Science in the late 1960’s, he discovers some huge problems there and decides to start a rebellion, to change the Status quo and to demolish the corrupt and dictatorial regime that’s in place there. What follows is a story filled with twists and turns, some romance and a few dramatic moments.
Driven by an interesting plot and with strong characters, including a very smart and courageous dog, A Little Rebellion Is a Good Thing is a book that pulls you in from the beginning and never lets go.
Former radio announcer, become audiobook narrator Charlie Boswell brings this story to life with credible voices, accents and superb theatrical performance. The listener can easily keep track of which of the characters is talking thanks to the multiple voices Mr. Boswell is employing during his audio production. He elevates and enriches the narrative experience for everyone involved into the story and it’s clear from his enthusiasm that he enjoyed every minute spent in front of the microphone.
Smartly written, perfectly balancing humor, drama and some romance, A Little Rebellion Is a Good Thing is one of those true stories disguised as fiction that also tackles a few social issues still relevant today.
