audio book

Hi all! I very recently joined the amazon audiobook site and was excited to see that coldfire books were there - I could not see a review or anything though and audio books are quite expensive so I wouldn't want to buy one only to find myself hissing in frustration every time Tarrant spoke because they got the voice all wrong or something... Just wondering if anyone has listened to them and would they recommend?

I have the audiobooks. The guy reading doesn't do any kind of different voices, it's simple reading, no acting, very little emotion and too fast. I was rather spoiled by the great audiobooks of Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series and had hoped for something similar, but was disappointed. I wouldn't recommend spending much money on it. The best word for it would be listless.

oh ok then - thanks! I was thinking that an audio version might be more of a performance and that would be like owning the film version and the book version rather than just the same book in 2 slightly different formats... I would have been tempted by a really good one but it is a lot of money to spend on something described as listless ;) what a shame - characters like these deserve awesome narration... :)
