Why listen to Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries?
Diaries are a natural fit for audio, since they were written as a voice in the first place, and Tom Ward takes on the task of being that voice for over thirty nine hours. Sustaining a single personality across such a span is proper long form narration, and it turns the book from a doorstop into a companion.Begin with this first volume, which is exactly what we list; diaries only make sense chronologically. Be realistic about the commitment, though: this is a month of commutes or a very long holiday, and it rewards listeners who love history in the raw, delivered by an insider who never dreamt of discretion. Not one for casual dipping, and all the better for it.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★★ 4.5/5
I have a weakness for diaries, so let me declare that upfront. The figures support my enthusiasm: 4.3 from 685 ratings is impressive for a thirty nine hour volume, because listeners who finish marathons and still rate them highly tend to mean it. Tom Ward’s narration is central to that endurance. This is the richest and most demanding series in the batch, and provided you know what you are signing up for, it is also the most rewarding.
