Why is one book in the middle of series narrated by someone else? The Zoey Ashe series did the same thing. Mildly frustrating.
i thought you were disappointed about the spoiler about Johns death 😭
Lol ever read the book or seen the movie? I own the whole book series and love the movie. So no spoilers for me. I just like consistently in my narrators.
Just like I can buy anymore Alex Delaware books because can't stand the new narrator. The another guy was 10 times better.
It’s brilliant. Really, really entertaining read. I was happy with the movie too. I thought it captured the balance of the “ominous yet lighthearted” feel pretty well.
The author used to hang out on a forum I was part of before the book came out. I think he released it in a serial format and was really cool to interact with
Voice actors are busy sometimes, it happens.
I'm still mad about what Amazon did to Ray Porter on Bobiverse 5. Ray said he was super busy and might not be available, they pressured him to finish the reading on schedule anyways. Then somebody at Amazon decided the release date is going to be September 5th. So there was no reason to put Ray on a deadline and could have just let him figure out his own schedule.
Actors have lives too. It's likely they booked a better gig or were unavailable for other commitments, or the company didn't want to put up a fair pay to bring them back.
Actors sometimes are busy with othet projects
Yeah that's especially annoying when the original narrator is the best.
Stephen Fry did the reading for a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, but not the sequels 😭
Is the fully casted radio version not the best version to listen to anyway?
I tried getting into listening to the sequels, but it just wasn't the same, Stephen has this awesome way of story telling.
Have you listened to his Mythos Trilogy? It's a compendium of Greek Mythology. He wrote and narrated it and it is brilliant. I'm on Troy right now (the third book).
Anything Fry does is just pure gold. I loved his 7 Deadly Sins podcast series .
Rel, I also hate when my audiobook is full of spiders.
Aaargh! Audible did this to the Stephen King Dark Tower series. Don't get me wrong - Frank Muller did OK in the books he read, but George Guidall (books 1, 5, 6 & 7) has an almost Johnny Cash quality to his voice, that just made his reading really fantastic to listen to.
Yeah that sucks but also OMG JDatE! Sorry it's just my favorite series :)
Tangentially, John Dies at the End is fucking great, easily one of my top book series. Kinda prefer the original online version of the sequel, but that's hard to find these days, and the print version is still good. The movie's pretty good, although it's a shame they cut so much. I get why, movies can only be so long, but would have been cool to see all the stories from the book get told.
There’s another version of Spiders? I was a fanatic for the first book in high school, I had no idea
Yeah, the core plot idea was pretty much the same, but the way it played out was pretty different. The whole thing stays way more low key, and I wanna say the whole jail thing never happened. It's been a long time since I read either version, so I'm fuzzy on the details, but it definitely got a significant rework for publication.
I've tried to find a copy of the original before, and I think I found a poorly cloned website with the original links a few years ago, not updated to point at the new clone so I had to tweak it every time to continue. I'd love to get it converted to an ebook so I could archive it, but I haven't tried in years now.
Well, if you ever do, let me know 😉
