Reader: Neil Gaiman
Short Review: One of my favorite urban fantasies, read expertly by the author.
Reader: Mark Bramhall
Short Review: Dark hyper-real earth-based fantasy for adults, heavier on the emotional life-tracking and lighter on the actual magic. Great reader + descent story = a pleasant listen.
Short Review: Average paranormal romance made appealing by an excellent reader. Likely to be more enjoyable for those already invested in the Dark-Hunter series.
Reader: Full Cast
Short Review: Fun listen for the whole family. A fantasy classic brought to life by a full cast. Four siblings find a magic token and wacky adventures ensue.
Reader: Martin Jarvis
Short review: One of my favorite humorous novels, expertly read by Martin Jarvis. I'm sure I'll listen to this book over and over again.
Reader: Simon Jones
Extra: Introduction by author Kaza Kinglsley in which she shares her inspiration for Erec and his quests.
Short Review: Strong second installment in Kaza Kingsley's Erec Rex series combines imaginative adventures with some solid life lessons. Simon Jones is still a fabulous reader.
Readers: Davina Porter and Simon Prebble
Short Review: Clarke's entrancing, charming short stories about the magical world introduced in Jonathan Strange & Mr.Norrell particularly focusing on the women who practice magic in this alternate England and run-ins between Englishpeople and faeries. Prebble and Porter are incomparably good readers, taking turns reading stories about men and women, respectively. Clarke's storytelling is downright fascinating, and her language precise and beautiful. I love this audiobook, have listened to it twice, and know I'll listen to it again and again. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Readers: Katherine Kellgren & Jeff Woodman
Short Review: Fairly standard 'boy meets girl, boy turns out to be vampire' romance - but with a few twists you likely won't expect. A pair of excellent readers, endearing characters and a fresh take on Romanian vampires make this a very enjoyable story.
Reader: Johanna Parker
Short Review: Well read first installment of the Southern Vampire Mysteries series (better known now as the books that inspired HBO's TrueBlood series). Sookie Stackhouse is a telepathic waitress in a world in which vampires have "come out of the coffin", and her world is getting more dangerous with each passing the day.
Reader: Stephen Briggs
Short Review: This follow-up to Going Postal follows Moist Von Lipwig as he embarks on a new venture: running the Mint at the all-too-pointed behest of Lord Vetinari. Briggs, as usual, reads well and beautifully. Pratchett, as usual, is funny and satirical. What's not to love?
Reader: Richard Mitchley
Short Review: A standout story from Pratchett's Johnny Maxwell trilogy, read with great personality and skill by Richard Mitchley. Our hero Johnny learns that he can see and speak to the Dead in his local cemetery, and winds up facing down corrupt, frightening enemies.
