	Simon Vance \| Audiobook reviews
		The beauty of this audiobook lies in the author's creativity and in the narrator's attention to detail--Hagen's family is an oddly universal one, in spite of all their eccentricities, and Richard Matthews masterfully brings each character to life, right down to the children's accent shifts as they move from one country to the next.
		Whitfield's voice is fun to listen to, and he uses that playfulness to complement Huxley's biting, satiric prose.
		Whitfield distinguishes with charm and consistency among the huge cast of characters--emphasis on that last word.
