dan come back

too used to Dan Morgan I think the performance was off to me the female voice was wrong in my head Paula sounded like a 60+ year old.
dave omg what have they done to him he sounds thick and he just isn't happy the books are out but it wasn't the best.

Stories good, but it's a bit off

What did you like most about The Undead?

Story is as good as ever, good writing and a decent mix of comedy.

What did you like best about this story?

Progression is good, seems slow in places but it's a decent build up.

What three words best describe Joe Jameson’s voice?

Limited, slow, meh.

Any additional comments?

I love this series but really struggling to get to grips with the new narrator. Grimaced a bit when he started speaking as Dave, makes him sound a bit of an idiot, well a lot of an idiot really which doesn't suit him well. No doubt I'll get used to it and I won't stop listening yet. Defiantly not gripping me as much at the moment. Does make me wish I had the time to read them instead. Beggars can't be choosers, I'll power through!

Change of reader is a disaster

Ahhhh I was really enjoying this series until the reader changed. That’s the third series I’ve quit. Dave now sounds brain damaged. All the other character voices change from paragraph to paragraph. I know it’s unavoidable sometimes, but it ruins the flow & enjoyment.

Change in narrator

Shame that there was a change in the narrator. Doesn’t feel right and Dave speaking is just painful

Just about getting used to the new narrator...

After listening to ~100 hrs of the previous narrator it was always going to be a challenge to hear the voices of all the familiar characters performed by someone else.

One or two of the characters I have really struggled with. Probably Paula the most, it really changed my perception of her character from being driven and highly competent to petty and annoying. Not sure if this is all in the voice or whether we also got a different side of her character in this story. I'm also struggling with Dave, Roy and Nick talking so slowly, but slowly getting used to it.

Anyway, I'm glad I have stuck with it (I had considered switching to paper back) and have started enjoying it again for most of the characters.

love the series

For me the series has been ruined slightly. Dan Morgan is an amazing narrator, but Joe really doesn't do it. Dave no longer sounds the way he should and now all the women sound like julian clairy.

I was sad too, but 2 years break I’m back in!! Have a break but don’t give up!

The first 10 were fantastic with Dan Morgan , when I started 11 I was devastated.. like so so devastated. I couldn’t listen and issued a refund swearing I’d now read them from now on. That didn’t happen … 2 years later I started where I left off with the new narrator . It’s been so long I can’t really remember what the characters sounded like.. Dave still dosnt sound great but I’ve 3/4 in and settling nicely . I’m so pleased I was able to get over it and it’s so good to listen to … fingers crossed for the rest!!!

Bring Dan back

As others have said Joe don't work and kills a great book series, bring back Dan as I was really enjoying this book but don't think I'll carry on which is a shame as I wanted to know how this ended

Really struggling to enjoy the new narration.

Loved this series up until this point, I just can't get on board with Joes Jameson's take on the characters. He's obviously talented but I don't think he's listened to any of the previous books and his take on the characters is hard to listen to, especially after Dan Morgan's brilliant performances e.g Paula now sounds like Mavis from Coronation Street, Dave sounds like Forest Gump. Sadly this is where I leave them.

Why are the voices so camp?

Love the Undead series and have really enjoyed the first 10 audiobooks, but I'm really struggling with the change of narrator in this book.
I'm sure as Joe Jameson gets used to the characters and I get used to his voice things will (hopefully) improve.
The girls voices in particular are just rally camp - Lenski is ok, but the others are awful.
As for the boys most are ok apart from Dave and Nick who are just too slow.
Don't get me wrong - I really love this book as the writing is awesome, but the narration is has lost something - the characters do not come across with same strength and intelligence as before. Really hoping this will change in the next books.
