À propos de cet audio
From the author of the Sunday Times best seller Cocaine Nights comes an unnerving tale of life in a modern tower block running out of control.
Within the concealing walls of an elegant 40-storey tower block, the affluent tenants are hell-bent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on 'enemy' floors, and the once-luxurious amenities become an arena for riots and technological mayhem.
In this visionary tale of urban disillusionment from the renowned author of Crash and Cocaine Nights, society slips into a violent reverse as the isolated inhabitants of the high-rise, driven by primal urges, recreate a dystopian world ruled by the laws of the jungle.
The audiobook of High Rise arrives as interest in the book and J. G. Ballard's work reaches a new peak. The film adaptation of High Rise, directed by Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers) will be released in September 2015, starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss.
Tom Hiddleston, who is known to millions worldwide for his role as the evil god Loki in the blockbuster Thor and Avengers movies, has lent his voice to this first UK audiobook adaptation of High Rise, which was published in 1975.
J. G. Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman. After internment in a civilian prison camp, he and his family returned to England in 1946. He published his first novel, The Drowned World, in 1961. His 1984 best seller Empire of the Sun won the Guardian Fiction Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. It was later filmed by Steven Spielberg. Ballard's memoir, Miracles of Life, was published in 2008. J. G. Ballard died in 2009.

Time.
I was listening to this for a novel study. The time said it was six hours long. I was listening to it all weekend, and i guess my perception of how long a book takes to finish is a bit fast, because when it ended i got confused. I genuinely thought there was more, that it was longer. I kinda wish there was a sequel ngl but i know it’ll never happen so nah.

Strange but Intresting
To be completely honest I am unsure what I expected when I started High Rise. Initially I listened because it was something new and because I am a big fan of Tom Hiddleston - who in my possibly VERY biased opinion did a wonderful job at narrating. This performance made me appreciate Tom's acting abilities even more. As for the Story I found it a strange but interesting take on human nature and what happens when society breaks down. I do recommend the book - just maybe approach it with an open mind.

Ew
The first line of this book is simply brilliant. After that this book was sadly disappointing on every level.
The narration was acceptable.
