My Review:
This is my first proper foray in to audiobooks, having previously tried to listen to other titles and finding that I tend to fall asleep. So, this time I changed tack and instead of lying in bed whilst listening I tried having the book as a soundtrack while I did my chores. Far more successful this time around which I am so pleased about as I really like the concept of the subject of this book. It also helped make doing mundane chores far more enjoyable which is always very welcome.
The author has used the idea of the journey of a banknote from the moment it is issued into open use at the ATM and following it as it passes through the hands of various recipients. It is a concept that I had discussed with a friend before now but David Fuentes has given his bank note far more exciting escapades than those I had considered. Some may not be captivated by the idea, but I would say to them: give this book a try because there are possibilities there which I bet you won't have thought of!
Some of the recipients are every day working folk, others have far more interesting 'day jobs'. The methods in which the note changes hands are as many and varied as the people involved and I would say that the average bank note has a far more exciting working life than most of people I know.
If you like books which make you consider the possibilities of things you wouldn't normally be giving much thought to then I think you will really enjoy this. Also having the British vs American perspective was a nice slant too.
My thanks go to the author who provided a link to the audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review. In doing so I not only got to read a really original, quirky book but also changed my attitude to audiobooks - basically I need to listen whilst in a vertical position because no matter how gripping the book is I just cannot stay awake (I blame my mother reading me bedtime stories hahahaha).
