“Still my favourite pod after all these years! Been listening since ep1!
Makes you feel so smart and cultured knowing about books and the authors.
But please please stop letting Kirsty Webeck on…. I like her but she makes the episodes insufferable, she makes the story so hard to follow, she...”Read full review »

“As someone who’s mind often wonders when reading books, Dave’s condensed storytelling is a wonderful way to experience/understand works I know I’d never have the resolve to finish myself. Also, the wide variety of subjects means you get to enjoy stories outside of the genres you may normally...”Read full review »

“Love when there is a live audience and your reaction and your guests reactions to them. As always a great show. Liked that you listened to an English narrator to figure out the pronunciation of “Iping”. And as always Matt’s reaction an idea for “double bluff” for the book title.
Now for the...”Read full review »

“Too much Shakespeare slander! I will not have it. The podcast medium is too dismissive to this author whose works can only be appreciated more when they’re seen and NOT heard, as his true genius of his writing can be appreciated more that way - the plots being recounted here making them seem more...”Read full review »

“Great idea for a pod, great host, but some episodes are much more enjoyable than others, depending on the guests. Some guests are just not that funny and add little, in fact they steer things way off course - I give up on these episodes as it’s rambling and not interesting.”

“David James Warneke, you son of a gun.
By not releasing any episodes for 6 months, you have forced my desperate, pod-starved self to read some books, so I can enjoy the pod’s back catalogue spoiler-free.
Looking forward to your return- BOOKS FOREVER!!!”

“This podcast is so funny. As I listen, it’s on a break so I really miss it.
I know Dave from Do Go On, his other podcast with Matt and Jess. Book Cheats is so fun and honestly helps me see some themes in these books that I may not have noticed at first reading. Dave is also funny AND...”Read full review »

“Great podcast about classic books, but extremely funny and interesting. Best episode is #65 about Pride and Prejudice with his partner Gabriella White. She is so charming and funny, and they are a wonderful couple. Dave’s synopses are well done and his guests are usually comedians and great fun....”Read full review »
