![The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul | [Douglas Adams]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61L8t59CzWL._SL175_.jpg)
"I forgot how good this one is"
Where does The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?Right up there with HHGTTG.
I read it back in high school (early 70's) and I remembered that I liked it.I'm really glad I got it in audiobook, it's a very fun story.
*SPOILERS* (in best River Song voice) Don't read further if you don't want your reading of the book colored by my idiotic opinions.
I love all his stuff, but I'm not sure why he kind of just slapped an ending on this one. The concept is brilliant, the writing top notch, and Adams wrote the sexiest female characters ever, but it kind of peters out with a whimper at the very, very end.
He was one seriously funny and creative guy.
What did you like best about this story?The way he connected past and present seamlessly.
Have you listened to any of Douglas Adams’s other performances before? How does this one compare?Yes. If you're a fan, seek out (rob a bank or steal a plane, if needed) and find his 4 CD version of Hitchiker's Guide. I love Stephen Fry, he is a brilliant and talented guy, and he does an excellent job of reading HHGTTG, but let's face it, there is nothing like having the author perform the characters. It's one of my favorite audiobooks of all time.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?What's a god gotta do?

![Peter and the Starcatchers: The Starcatchers, Book 1 | [Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517DBKOigwL._SL175_.jpg)
"Worth it for the Jim Dale performance"
What made the experience of listening to Peter and the Starcatchers the most enjoyable?If Jim reading the HP books brought you here, just buy it. He's amazing. His voices and accents, while some are similar to the HP book characters, are definitely not exact copies. He somehow manages to come up with more.
The story is bit contrived to fit in and at times panders to the kids a bit, but still very high quality story telling.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Peter and the Starcatchers?Stupid as it may sound, some of the slapstick is quite funny, even when read.
Have you listened to any of Jim Dale’s other performances before? How does this one compare?Yeah, all the HP books. He's brilliant, truly unique talent.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Bloody pirates!
Any additional comments?It's fun, even for us old guys. NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!
