Audio Edition?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Quantus:
Amazon is taking pre-orders for the Audio edition (here in the US) so it is being produced at the very least.  Which distributor in which country might not have settled out yet, but at least it will exist and looks like it will be available at the time of Release.

Amazon lists Penguin Audio as the publisher just like most of the Dresden books, so things look good for an audiobook from Audible . . .

Now we just need to find out who is actually reading it.
Getting a good narrator can make or break a audio book imho. There have been a number of books, that I liked, that when I tried to listen to them, I couldn't finish because the narrator kept mixing up the voices he/she was using for the characters, was giving the characters the wrong emotion for a given situation or (heaven forbid) was a mono tone .

No idea who, but everyone that's done the voice talent for Jim's other books have been fantastic with none of those issues.  Even John Glover, and his only failing literally was that he was not James Marsters (and we geeks hate change).  So regardless Im confident they'll cast it well, bases on that past evidence

KevinSig:
I kind of hope we get two narrators.  One to do the male roles & another to do the female ones.  This is a multi narrative book, and it switches between male & female roles enough that it would help to have a dedicated male & female reader.

While male & female narrators can alter their pitch to do a passable representation of the alternate gender, it is hard to pull off.  Especially for multiple male & female roles like the book has.

BTW; Yes, I've read the book.  You could get one at SDCC if you followed the @acerocbooks Twitter.  I will likely review this weekend, as I have just finished it, but this is where my knowledge comes from.

Looking through the book, there are 6 different voices in total.  Male & female voices are a roughly equal, if you include the cat.  If you just count humans, there are more female voices.  So we likely will be looking at a female narrator.  If that's the case, I really would like Tara Strong if at all possible.
