The Portable Door

By: Tom Holt

Narrated by: Ray Sawyer

Starting a new job is always stressful (especially when you don't particularly want one), but when Paul Carpenter arrives at the office of J. W. Wells he has no idea what trouble lies in store. Because he is about to discover that the apparently respectable establishment now paying his salary is in fact a front for a deeply sinister organisation that has a mighty peculiar agenda. It seems that half the time his bosses are away with the fairies. But they're not, of course. They're away with the goblins. Mister Tom Holt, Master of the Comic Fantasy Novel, cordially invites you to join him in his world of madness by reading his next hilarious masterpiece.

A weird one but worth it

It took me a little while to get into this story, but once I did, I found it fun and interesting. Really rather a delightful listen. The narrator was good too - brought the fun out in the book! If you want something fun, a little odd, and imaginative, give this a go.

Brilliant

For a couple of days I was lost to my family as I was constantly listening to it with my headphones on. Cant wait to start volume 2.

There's no storyline here... 😶

Mildly amusing characters and dialog. But Tom Holt doesn't manage to write a story.
Chapter 1: main character geta a boring job and falls in love.
Chapter 6: besides from getting a stone with a sword delivered to his house and finding a lot of old things at work, nothing has happened up to this point. 2 hours about how they do paperwork in the office. And how boring it is.
I don't think I will finish this book because I'm falling asleep all the time..
