    Description

    From one of England's most renowned authors, an unforgettable new novel that provides a searing portrait of life - and, shockingly, love - in a concentration camp.

    Once upon a time there was a king, and the king commissioned his favorite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didn't show you your reflection. It showed you your soul - it showed you who you really were.

    The wizard couldn't look at it without turning away. The king couldn't look at it. The courtiers couldn't look at it. A chestful of treasure was offered to anyone who could look at it for 60 seconds without turning away. And no one could. The Zone of Interest is a love story with a violently unromantic setting. Can love survive the mirror? Can we even meet each other's eye, after we have seen who we really are? In a novel powered by both wit and pathos, Martin Amis excavates the depths and contradictions of the human soul.

    Performance lead

    Sean Barrett's performance is captivating. He does beautiful justice to the poetry of Amis's prose, even under the burden of such a tale.

    Great book, great performance, worth your money.

    I loved Martin Amis's "Money," but I've been disappointed by his other works because they fell short of it. For my money, "The Zone of Interest" puts Amis back on top. It spins a heartbreaking story of a Nazi extermination camp through the eyes of three denizens: 1) a young, cynical, Nazi aristocrat; 2) a pathetic Jew who was forced to act as an overseer; and 3) the camp's savage and sociopathic commander. Throughout, Amis uses his sophisticated, lapidary, English style. To make things even better, Sean Barrett does spot-on characterizations . His character portrayals are so distinct you could skip to any part of the book and immediately recognize who is talking. My prediction is this novel will withstand the test of time. Money well spent!

    the performance is excellent, superb

    This is an important book on the secondary damages of man's inhumanity to man -- on its perpetrators, bystanders and antagonists. I would like to read this even though I have just listened to it. I would like to stop and re-read passages and translate some of the German passages and phrases. I am a different person than I was a few days ago before experiencing this book.

    Chilling!

    A haunting story of well developed characters running a concentration camp. It really captured the German national psyche under the Nazis.

    Impossible to understand due to the terrible narra

    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    The ability to understand what was supposed to be audible. It was impossible to follow the story because of the voice. The addition of the interjection of German was absurd

    Would you ever listen to anything by Martin Amis again?

    Yes. I have reared and listened to his books and for the most part found them interesting

    What didn’t you like about Sean Barrett’s performance?

    Could not follow or understand, voice garbled and irratic

    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    None - I know the WWII issues well.

    Any additional comments?

    Very sorry I ordered this book.

    Boring

    Tedious nothingness narrated by one not easily understood. Don’t think would not have ordered, waste of one credit.

    Love between the Smoke and Gas

    [rating = B]
    This was my first try at Mr. Amis. I have heard only good things about him, but have never committed myself until now. The story is told by three perspectives: Thompson, Doll, and Szmul. Each character is very specific and tells a part of the overall story. Although this style has been done before, Martin Amis utilizes them very effectively; though one comment would be that somethings that are "said" seem a bit random and unimportant. With the whole concentration camp in the background, there are also sprinkles of love, sabotage, revolutionaries, and death. The tone of the novel is rather mocking, and I find that the diction is at times very hilarious. One flaw would be the fake speech; there are very British phrases that no Nazi would ever say, and likewise, the German, though superficial and key to this type of fiction, is rather annoying and indecipherable. But I enjoyed the novel and found the end exceptionally satisfying and well done.

    I cannot understand half of what the narrator is saying

    Does anybody at audible even listen to any of their products?? We’re listening to this on headphones because it be OK but trying to listen on the car where the volume goes from 10 dB to 90 dB depending on who is talking makes it kind of hard to follow a conversation is addition to that we had to slow it down to85% in order to understand anything This is an extremely disappointing products

    Boring, boring and so disappointing

    A review stated this was the most fascinating book about the time of WW.

    Worst Holocaust-related book I've ever heard

    BORING and off-topic. This should have been a fascinating story and instead it was like listening to grass growing. I'm asking Audible for a refund. Just awful.

    an amazing work by one of my favorites.

    My Affinity for the writing of Martin Amis goes back perhaps three decades.
    this is a very accomplished work, one of my many. It seems important for someone to write a holocaust novel that concerns itself with the daily lives of those in the KZ - the concentration camp. as a literary device, this works perfectly. Suspense builds as you wonder how the horrors of their activities could not affect them.
    the rest is a very keen bit of writing, and some fine storytelling. I recommend this book for fans of the author, and people interested in the era.
