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.

I really enjoyed everything about this! Both the story, and the way the narrator brings them to life is fantastic. I have already started books 4-6

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.

Not a bad story

Dave literally had me laughing out loud, it’s kinda of embarrassing when you’re in the gym training tho.

Amazing

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?

very funny

brilliant book, really loved the characters but the narration was terrible. He really needs to learn to narrate as if he were talking to a friend.

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.

can't get into the story

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.

Love these books but couldn't get on with the reader
