I listened to the audiobook read by Tim Curry, and it was very good - far less dry than I thought it would be and ultimately very entertaining. Although I have to admit that reading about people trying to unravel a cipher is ALWAYS dull no matter how it’s written. But once they get on the journey, it’s a lot of fun. I really felt the thirst, the confusion, the rollercoaster of triumph and almost disaster. And it’s good to have read it as obviously it’s had a big impact on a lot of different culture over the years.
