Fantastic! This was an excellent listen. Great story; good narration and just fun. An Angel and Demon living through the ages of the world and becoming best friends while doing it. And together they help avert the apocalypse. It was simply brilliant.

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleThis is one of those books that I'd been meaning to read for ages, but just hadn't gotten around to. Then the miniseries came out and I caved and watched it before reading the book. Now here I am, having finally read the book and I loved it. I can defi...

While I liked this story, I was also irritated by it. A lot. And I've come to hate the word "ineffable" which is just silly, yet true.In a way, I'm not surprised that this book gave me a mindache. Pratchett and Gaiman? It was 50/50 that it would be a work of immense genius or a work of over-the-top ...

Full of that quirky, funny British humor. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and laughed several times, but I am rather partial to British humor. This probably isn't for everyone. This audiobook was excellently narrated by Martin Jarvis, and the great story, coupled with his reading, made me look for...

First of all I am a fan of British humor. I also blame myself more then the book, during the periods when I could keep alert I did enjoy some of the funny moments of the story, but I didn't find them fall off the bed and on to the floor funny. Footnote: No more laying down while listening to audio ...

Like Agatha Christie herself, I consider this book one of my favorites among all the ones she wrote. I can't say why I like it without giving a spoiler but in my opinion, the solution for this mystery was simply brilliant.Martin Jarvis (the narrator) did a good job portraying both the humor and the ...

This was fun. It felt sort of like reading P.G. Wodehouse with a laugh track. Like, it was definitely funny, and it is usually a good bet to write an innocently arrogant rich young man slipping on banana peels, right? Everyone likes that. My only complaint isn't even really a complaint, but just...

I probably would have liked this better if I'd been able to read it in print. Alas, most libraries don't have it these days, so I was lucky enough to get the abridged audio edition from my library. It's only four disks, and the fourth disk is far and away the most interesting. The earlier disks a...

An incredibly good reading of an incredibly good book. There are 25 major speaking parts in this story, plus a "Full Chorus of Tiebtans, Aliens, Americans, Atlantisans and other rare and strange Creatures of the Last Days" and Martin Jarvis does justice to them all -- male or female, English or Amer...
