Unabridged.
Read by David Horovitch.
"An extraordinary new novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize winning The Remains of the Day. "You've long set your heart against it, Axl, I know. But it's time now to think on it anew. There's a journey we must go on, and no more delay. . ." The Buried Giant begins as a couple set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen in years. Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel in a decade is about lost memories, love, revenge and war"-- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The Buried Giant audiobook submitted by nemiller on July 30, 2023, 11:16pm I found it really hard to get through the audiobook. The repetition and the slow pacing had me struggling to stay focused. I ended up just reading the physical book.

The book itself is interesting. It's slow and dreamy and repetitive, but that's sort of the point. It seems to be a kind of love-it-or-hate-it book, so I'd say to pick it up, and however you feel after two or so chapters, you can decide if the rest of the book is for you or not.
