This book takes the reader through a Tibetan Buddhist view of why we suffer, emotionally or physically, and the steps we can take to exist in both happiness and pain with equal balance of soul. There are some analogies and terms anchored in the Tibetan tradition which do not appear to translate smoothly for the western mind. Additionally, the narrator sounds at times disinterested, which may be a barrier for some. Glad I read this text and hope to put some of the meditative practices to work in my life

The idea of a an “underworld” in London is a neat one. Gaiman, as usual, is a master of descriptive text, fleshed-out characters and comedic delivery. Unfortunately the book goes on for too many chapters past the climax, and, for this reader, relies too much on comedy to propel the story forward. Gaiman does at excellent job narrating.

My first Pratchett book. I found him to be delightfully smart, and funny, but the onslaught of jokes became tiresome after awhile for my palate. Others may revel in this story, however.

The performance was excellent and top notch. Hope to listen to more of this reader in the future.

At times preaching, at times revealing, at times painfully truthful, but always entertaining. Bryson has written a book that's thoroughly enjoyable.

The performance is middle of the road. Character voices are fairly limited but professionally performed. The reader's voice is a bit whiney.

Zuzak pens an engaging, heartfelt story from the perspective of a most unusual narrator. His prose is very descriptive without being burdensome. The reader does an excellent job with the characters. Easily in the top ten novels I've read.
