Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. http://nhw.livejournal.com/1045858.html I don't think I will do these audiobooks very often in future, for reasons almost entirely unconnected with the quality of the story: the full thing extends over three full audio CDs of over an hour, with no other convenient episode breaks, and is therefore several times longer than an actual Torchwood episode. My routine is much better suited to narrative cut into chunks of around half an hour in length. Having said that, the story is standard Torchwood - alien creature comes to Cardiff, possesses its human victims, the team deal with it despite gross personal danger - but well told, with nice personal vignettes for each of our favourite characters and good descriptive writing of the horrors of flood and drowning, with an excursion into second person narrative at one point which of course is all the more compelling when delivered via the spoken rather than written word. Barrowman slightly overacts in places and his pronunciation of one or two phrases jarred me, but that is of course part of his charm. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The climactic scene with Gwen and Jack is moving, and also very in-character. On the other hand, I'm not sure if this book is abridged or not, but it seems to be lacking depth in the way an abridged book might be. Also, John Barrowman is not my favorite reader. It may just be me, though - much as I like him (and Jack), his (American) accent always sounds just a bit off to me. ( )
