Great story and narration, poor audio quality
Audio was very hissy and quiet but improved slightly half way through. Still and enjoyable story and great narration by Tony Robinson.

Not Stephen Briggs
Despite what the title picture says, it is read by Tony Robinson which is disappointing. Pratchett's story is as amazing as ever, but let down by Robinson's performance.

delightful
I love this version of Terry Prachetts the fifth elephant. It is my favourite book of the Ankh-Morpk series and Tony Tobinson as always lightens up the characters.

Poor sound quality
It's a good Discworld story, and the narration is fine, but the audio quality is very poor and the volumes are inconsistent from chapter to chapter.

Great story, shame about the reader.
I have really enjoyed the guards series read by Nigel Planer up until this book, however this one unfortunately was spoiled by the mumbling of Tony Robinson. I find it almost impossible to distinguish the voices of each character and the volume and clarity of Tony Robinson's speach made me have to go back and repeat some sections to pick out what was being said.
I see that the previous books are now only available narrated by Tony Robinson. Avoid, find the Nigel Planer version even if it means going outside the audible app.

Let down by inconsistent narration and duration
Narrative volume changes. Lack of urgency in certain scenes. Audio is poorly cut and edited.
