I've already read the book 3 times since its release and was so excited for the audiobook version. The new narrator did a great job. It's a pity none of them could speak French properly but I rather them having the perfect voice for the Suarez clan so that's fine by me 😊 can't wait for book 3! 🦎

This is very outside of my comfort zone (I haven’t read a SciFi novel in years) but as I was looking through the Audible plus catalogue I saw Brendan Fraser’s face and borrowed it. (Great marketing idea since I’m sure I’m not the only did based on him🤓)
I dived in blind and had a read great time with it! I actually forced myself to play my video game longer than my usual time to make sure I could finish it today so that’s a good sign ^^

The whole cast reading was great and the story really hooked me in. I was also agreeably surprised by the presence of a trans character and the humour in the story at unexpected times. Brendan Fraser was a great choice for his character IMO, he really brought humanity to this part of the story despite the murder he was in prison for in the first place.

Content warning for those who like me prefer to know ahead:
there is a brutal murder described (and described again in more vivid details later ) and there is a s#xual assault attempt scene (pants go down and the guy gets stop)

I usually have a hard time with Sci-fi since I have trouble focusing on complicated stories nowadays so I really liked that this was quite short (8H I think) and the voices were easy to recognise.

Having grown up with the french dub of Buffy in the 90s I admit I didn't know all the characters' original voices. I've seen bits on youtube in English but I've never heard Dru's original voice for example. My biggest problem is that some of those characters had very similar voices so I kept wondering if it was Anya, Cordelia or Tara talking which made it hard to follow (and I see that others had the same issue)

When I heard about this audiobook I was very excited but let's be real I mostly got it for James Marsters. I've listened to him read other audiobook and I love his voice.

The story was ok overall even though too long IMO. Of course they had to use the multi verse route to have a chance to get those characters together again and I guess it's not a bad choice. I do wish we could have had the scooby gang though. I know there's nothing they can do about it if the main actors don't want to come back but Buffy without Buffy and Willow is kind of lacking I think. Of course depending on the success of this first volume and seeing how it ends they could try to convince some of them to come back now.

Overall it was a nice nostalgia trip in my teen years but I wish the actress were easier to recognize and I think it could have been a bit shorter.

What a great discovery!!

I’ve tried many times to read David Copperfield and I even had the version read by Richard Armitage. But even my favourite audiobook reader couldn’t make me go through 40 hours of this story so I was delighted to discover not only that there was a new adapted and much shorter version but also that this version was read by a cast including Richard again AND Ncuti Gatwa! (As a huge Doctor who I couldn’t resist!)

Sometimes with a full cast some of the voice actors (or when 1 actor does some of the characters in a very horrible way) can be really annoying but I absolutely loved all of them here! Richard was so good he was honestly terrifying! You might be aware that there are some beating scenes from David’s childhood chapters but a word of warning is that those scenes can be triggering with the audio effects on top of the great acting. I honestly had to skip one of them because I couldn’t bear it with the belt noise…So keep that in mind if it’s a trigger for you.

The actor who played young David was amazing, and I especially loved all the women characters, all well played, whether they’re famous or not!
But my absolute favourite thing was Ncuti himself. Just like on screen he was such a ray of sunshine (in such a dark story) I was smiling just listening to him! Honestly this man fascinates me, his whole energy is always such a joy!

I think the whole cast did a great job giving life to those characters to compensate the fact that the adaptation was so short. It was brilliantly done IMO. And the balance with sound effects was also well orchestrated. Sometimes those can be overwhelming but here I loved what they brought to the story.

I knew some bits about the story but didn’t know much overall so I was suddenly very surprised when I started to see hints of a queer relationship between David and Steerforth! I thought I was imagining it but as I did some research on it, there's a clear subtext of it in the original text. This adaptation clearly wants to make sure there’s no misunderstanding about their relationship (and how much David adores him) and I was here for it! It was honestly so well done between their acting and the sound effects…Of course lots of readers will find this adaptation absolutely outrageous but it made me love it even more!

And the last 10 minutes were adorable!


Honestly I’m so glad I listened to this adaptation: so many times I’m curious about some classics but my brain fog now makes it harder to focus on those longer and older novels. So finding a great audiobook version is a great way to make me appreciate it!

I really recommend it if you’re not afraid of some 🏳️‍🌈🥰

This was a reread for me as I already knew the story. I love seeing Magnus and Alec again and love the idea of this series following them at different moments of their life together. However the narrator was really annoying at times: so many of his voices made me want to smack characters that I do like (Clary, Simon and Jace sounded ridiculous!) and the Asian accents were a bit too over the top in my opinion. The demon’s was fun though.

I love the play but this audio version was an absolute delight! A perfect way to spend an hour. I laughed out loud so many times I'm glad I was home 😂

The only thing I loved about this book was Richard E Grant narration. It was simply marvelous!
The rest was disappointing : it's very long to get started and Miss Marple only appears when there's only 1h30 left 🤔why name it a Marple story? And she solve the story on her own (without the narrator) she only tells the how/why/where... Once the murderer has been arrested which means she's barely in the book. Ridiculous!

I got it for free so that's fine but I wouldn't recommend reading it. Richard was amazing though! 👏

I read the book earlier this book and jumped on the audiobook ASAP because this book was fr**king amazing!
And the audiobook adaptation is just PERFECT!!!! It’ll be now among my top 5 fav audiobooks and I will listen to it again and again!
The 2 narrators were absolutely brilliant, bringing so much emotions into their scenes (especially the se*y ones 🔥)

I highly recommend this book and its sequel!

I loved this short romance and the fact that despite its length it had depth. The subjects treated were interesting, the narrators brought life to the characters and I find myself laughing out loud several times because of their interactions. My only regret is that it was a close door romance but it's a question of preference. I highly recommend this one!
