Discworld Audio Books

Audible.co.uk ( .co.uk and not com, no experiences there. )

Go else where or get the ones they have and then get :-

The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

Night Watch

The Wee Free Men

else where. I would not recommend this site at all.

Huh. Audible.com has all three of these in the unabridged versions. I have "Night Watch" and "Wee Free Men," both read by the estimable Mr. Briggs.

J-I-B

As .com has them I do not see why .co.uk could not have them on file to, looks like i joined the wrong site.

audible had the lot when I signed up. I get a free credit every month since I'm a member too, and discounts.

I listen to the audio books all the time. I have a twice a day forty minute commute and they are my constant companion. I kind of take the painting-the-Golden-Gate-Bridge approach: start at the beginning, work my way though, finish and start all over again. Dorky but I find them a perfect escape from my stressful job and a great way to decompress on the way home.

I much prefer Nigel Planer's voice to Stephen Briggs'. It may be because I listened to the audio books in order and was used to hearing Nigel's versions of the characters but still...

And, not to be mean, but Stephen constantly smacks his lips when he starts a sentence. Like he swallows and then opens his mouth to speak. I find it very distracting. I do appreciate all his efforts but I'd rather hear Nigel read.

I like Tony Robinson quite a bit but was disappointed to see all his versions, on Audible at least, were abridged. How could you cut anything out of Terry's writings?!

Welcome to the site, Beti!

I've never understood the appeal of abridged books or audiobooks, but obviously some people like them, or they wouldn't sell them.
