In re-listening to these books I am absolutely stunned at how much "I" is used incorrectly. So much so that I'm wondering if Lowell did it intentionally for some reason.
The fact that I didn't remember this from the first time I listened to these books and really enjoyed them is either a tribute to Lowell's immersive storytelling, or a sign I'm now getting old and persnickety.
And why would you think that those are mutually exclusive??

I've been listening to The Furthest Station, the latest in the Peter Grant series from Ben Aaronovitch, narrated by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. What a pleasure these are, and they're definitely made better by the superb narration. I simply can't imagine any other narrator for this series.
