About this listen
Dave Marwood is trapped in a soul-crushing dead-end job. He's in love with his work colleague Melanie and his only friend Gary is a conspiracy theory nut.
His life is going nowhere until he has a Near Death Experience—though Death thinks of it as a Near Dave Experience. He discovers gifts he never knew he possessed and a world he never dreamed existed. A world where the Grim Reaper is a hard-drinking, grumpy Billy Joel fan and the undead are bored, lonely, and dangerous.

Not a bad story
Terribly boring narrator. Just feels like he's reading a script and not trying g to tell a story. Very little change in voice for different characters made it had to work out who was speaking.

very funny
loved this book. if you like sarcastic, off beat humour then this is right perfect. the character of death is hilarious, and the summoning of war when he was having a bath made me roar with laughter. granted the narrator hasn't got the most accents available, but he still delivers well.
is that a stormtrooper in your pocket or are you pleased to see me?

can't get into the story
story content in the "ok" range, but the monotone voice of the narrator means I can't concentrate long enough to get involved with the story.
the is very little expression in the narration and all the character voices sound the same.

Love these books but couldn't get on with the reader
I've read all of these books and really enjoyed them, so I was looking forward to listening to them as audiobooks. Unfortunately I couldn't get along with the performance and found it lacked any life - no pun intended. Maybe that's what the producers were going for but it didn't work for me.

I'm sure it's a great trilogy, Im sure it's a great read, but the narration is just blurgh!.
needs to slow down and add better infection and character to the story.
very disappointed in what could be a good listen.
