Septimus


Read by Simon Evers

(4.5 stars; 112 reviews)

The book concerns the tangled lives of four people: Zora, a young widow who seeks some purpose in her life; Septimus Dix, an other-wordly but kind-hearted inventor of hopeless things; Clem Sypher, a larger than life businessman who is convinced his quack remedy will save the world; and Emmy, Zora’s younger sister, a rather flighty actress.

EXCELLENT STUDY


(5 stars)

One of the most offbeat books That I have ever read. At the same time it is one of the most satisfying. It started slowly, but it built to a fine finish. As always, Simon Evers always enhances a novel.

Don’t miss

I find it interesting, that, after listening to several books by William John Locke, it is difficult to get into the books at the start, but after a few chapters that changes. Stick with him. He writes with such feelings, so different than most of the authors of our time. Mr. Simon Evers’s narration is excellent as usual, thank you, JK

Didn't particularly like any of the characters, but I did laugh aloud several times, and Simon Evers makes all the difference: one of the best readers on here.

cute and funny little story


(5 stars)

enjoyable


(4 stars)

tbis was a good book. unique and endearing characters and good moral. I liked that there wasnt a villain or antagonist. refreshing to not be provoked by an evil person. good reader although the recording was scratchy, just not clear , or maybe it's my phone. :) thanks for reading!


(1.5 stars)

very well read. I found this book rather hard to like. After several tries, I did not care for the characters or the writing. There were some funny lines but not memorable. There was a sense of forced humor or fake drama. I can't find the words. That's my penny worth.

Beautifully read.


(5 stars)

An entertaining story with numerous laugh out loud moments. Unlike many stories of the era, this one shows how humans can grow and change and really be invested in the best interests of others.

Special


(5 stars)
