  Reviews and Comments

"Brilliantly written...

wonderfully narrated

and very funny."

 

J.C. Hutchins, author, 7th Son podcast novel trilogy)

 

 

Absolutely awesome...

Bottom line: this is an excellent, excellent podcast novel.

 

Charles Sheehan-Miles, author of ‘Prayer at Ramala’

and ‘Republic: A Novel of America’s Future’. 

 

"Brilliant; funny; very funny; laugh-out-loud funny; laugh-out-loud-

even-though-you-know-that-everyone-else-on-the-bus-

thinks-you’re-a-complete-nutter funny." Paul (listener)

 

"...tons of British humor. Mike’s voice talent is outstanding."

Thomas Gagnon-van Leeuwen at Mac User.com

 

"One of the best and creepiest stories I have ever heard.... the story line doesn't ever want to cooperate with my theories and is always leading to where I least expected it to go. I love this story, even if I now have dark circles under my eyes". 

Naked Yank (Listener)

 

"A disturbing but gripping thriller...I enjoyed this book immensely." Sam Tyler (Amazon.co.uk)

"A dark humour which is compulsive reading. Nothing is predictable but everything is constant in its entertainment value." Garagefuzzman (Amazon.co.uk)

"Dickens was renowned for giving life to his characters in public readings, and Mr Bennett might have taken a leaf out of Charlie boy’s book in that respect, for this book is full of wonderful comic creations that yearn for an actor of skill to give them voice. (Mike Bennett) luckily has such a skill."  Craig Kenny (Listener)

"Totally compelling - I'm up to chapter 13 and I'm hooked. Love the variety and change of pace, the characterizations, the humour, the anticipation, the realism....these are believable personalities - scarily close to home and it all reinforces the notion that 'you never know what goes on behind closed doors'.... I listen to every episode with a smile on my lips and my eyebrows raised!!" Kathy (Listener)

...The storyline is compelling and Bennett delivers an array of voices brilliantly. It has wickedly funny British humor and it has sex. So what more do you want?

Steve McDermott, Editor: Storyglossia.com

Great voices, brilliantly read. Ian Duncan Smith (The FrictionFiction Show)

"...gripping, sinister and hilarious. The characters and situations are extremely well written and Mike Bennett’s reading and character voicing skills are extraordinary..." Poldolly (BBC Collective Reviews)

"Watch out! When he says explicit, he means explicit!"    Gail (podiobooker blog)

"Brilliant, brilliant Stuff! Mike Bennett has a unique style. Hilarious, bizarre, revolting, tender, violent all of these things and more."   Cactusnic (Listener)

The Story

Is it Peter Reynolds, mild-mannered office clerk pouring petrol through his neighbour's letterbox in the middle of the night?

Is it Wayne Dolan, a man who discovers strange, unsociable uses for his own urine - and an even stranger desire for the lady upstairs with the whip?

Or is it Dusty, a mysterious vagrant who views the world through a pair of 1966 Balorama wrap sunglasses?

Mick Nixon wants to find out, because people are disappearing. And if he and Sally are ever going to share more than just sandwiches, he'd better hurry up, or they could be next.

One Among the Sleepless is a novel set in a neighbourhood just like yours: noisy, angry, demented. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll throw it through your neighbour's window tied to a house brick!
