Great

Another great Red Dwarf audiobook, if only you could get rid of the theme song which permeates over and over throughout the story. Brilliantly written and brilliantly performed but after the first book they should have took the theme tune out.

Must have for fans of the show!

Chris Barrie is perfect for audio books he brings the characters to life brilliantly. The stories are amazing and venture full, if ur a fan of the TV show u will notice the stories are not the same but can see how they were adapted perfectly from source material for the 25min episodes.

Chris Barrie is excellent at his job. I think it helps he is part of the original cast because he knows the other characters inside out and he makes listing to the book enjoyable. It's a must read for any dwarfa

love the book

love the book - the bit that let it down was in the. editing: lots of annoying pauses mid sentence before the rest of the dialogue continues!

Brilliant book

I absolutely love this book although really you need to listen to the original first. I've just finished them both for the second time and I enjoyed them both as much as the first. Chris Barrie is absolutely amazing! best audible reader I've come across.

Brilliant in every way, even if you’ve watched the TV series

The amazing narration aside this is a must listen. It’s a great series and well worth the time for any red dwarf fan.
