Would you consider the audio edition of Headhunters on My Doorstep to be better than the print version?
Yes. Vance and Troost are and incredible match.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The one writing it of course
Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Top notch as usual. One of the best readers in the world.
Any additional comments?
Some people complain about Troost getting personal about his struggles past and present while on this travel journey and, I would think, have a sadistic side in enjoying the humor in his past explorations of places along with copious amounts of intoxicants. Therefore, you'll see some negative reviews on this one as it strays just a tad from his normal outings. However, nothing is lost to me in this recount. His historical perceptive and information stays true and loose as usual which makes it all more accessible versus being like textbook material. I can't get enough from Troost and am so upset that his journey through India book got canned. This book loses some entertainment value versus is other ones as it's a bit more serious than the others but, to me, it makes it only a tad less enjoyable than all his others. The bar has always been set high with Troost, though. It remains so here but the tone is only slightly different. I still laughed, learned, and thoroughly enjoyed and you will too.
