This is the first book of 3 - all well read by Derek Jacobi. The other 2 are: 'The Sands of Ammon' and 'The Ends of the Earth'.

A great hero of Northern European legend, Beowulf, defeats the monster, Grendel and the monster's mum ... and a dragon. It's a stirring translation of the ancient epic poem.

The best of all possible tales, read ... and sung by Rob Inglis. This is the unabridged version and, in my opinion, near perfect.

The abridged version read by Martin Shaw. M Shaw's reading seems more adult-orientated that the Rob Inglis reading. This version is very well abridged.

There must be dozens of these abridged Discworld audiobooks, read by Tony Robinson. All the ones I've listened to have been read well. This one is definitely pretty good. I'd prefer them unabridged.

This is just a place-holder for the BBC Cover to Cover unabridged version which is fantastic! This is not that version. Look for the complete, unabridged one before settling for this.

This is the second in the set. There's also 'Life, the Universe & Everything', 'So Long & Thanks for all the Fish', 'Mostly Harmless'. All wonderful.

Three men and one rascally dog go for a row up the Thames and get into some frightful scrapes - but nothing terminal. Very competently read by Hugh Laurie. Put your feet up, smile and relax.

There are 8 stories in this box, on 4 CDs, all read by the incomparable Martin Jarvis over 5 hours. A very funny and enjoyable collection.

Written, abridged and read by Richard Dawkins, with the help of his wife Lalla Ward. Carefully constructed, rational arguments, clearly stated in simple terms.

I didn't enjoy this book when I read it. However, the audiobook version is so well read by Steven Pacey that I could almost believe the daft story of huge mutant rats.

The usual Crichton. It's time to panic. Medical research and legal mayhem gone mad: citizens being dragged off the street to plunder their genetic material. Brilliantly well read.
