I'm enjoying the audiobook narrated by Heather Bolton. She's doing a good job although oddly her voice sounds a little suburban Melbourne to me even though she's from New Zealand. Not that I'm any sort of expert on the differences in those accents and they all sound somewhat similar-ish to me, but I'm a fan of the television series Kath & Kim and those characters purposely have a distinct accent that I assume is a send up of a suburban Melbourne accent since that's where it's set. With Bolton sometimes I swear she sounds just like a character from that show and how they talk as opposed to say the accents I heard in Hunt for the Wilderpeople that's set in New Zealand which I just watched a few weeks ago.
