Red Dwarf - Better Than Life is the second and final instalment of this hilarious sci-fi comedy.

Narrated by Chris "Rimmer" Barrie, Better Than Life finds the crew trapped in a mind-boggling computer game that is threatening their lives and safety of the ship. One by one, they enter the game to rescue each other - and one by one, they become trapped! Holly will have to use his mega brain to solve this one.

Annoying soundtrack

I love this book. And Chris Barrie's performance is great but they've put the red dwarf theme music between chapter breaks. Quite often it plays twice. And more often than not its the full version and it gets incredibly annoying. You can't even skip over it.

Excellent

Grant and Naylor at the top of there game.
Some of the stories from the TV series with a quite a twist are recognisable but different enough as to be fresh. The ending leaves you wanting more, just as a good book should.

What a gem of an audiobook .

You cant help admire the 6 on ? ~Hope you got paid. the quadruple rate. Thankyou so much.

But kick the editor up the rear for playing every Chapter musical intermission twice. ...All they had to do was put it together (once) ~ have some words about it.

Fantastic narration by Chris Barrie

Chris Barrie does a fantastic job of narrating the Red Dwarf audiobooks. These follow the novels written by Red Dwarf creators Doug Naylor and Rob Grant.

awesome as usual

This book is another old favourite of mine and happy to listen over and over. Chris Barrie does all his usual cast impersonations brilliantly apart from talkie toaster. I'm not sure what happened there, maybe his crumb tray needs emptying! I hope audible brings us LAST HUMAN and BACKWARDS (the best of them all). I love Red Dwarf and hate an incomplete collection!

Fantastic Narration

Chris Barrie does a fantastic narration, at times you forget it's the same person doing all the different characters!
