Resumen del Editor

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audiobook of Reaper Man is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford (Fleabag; Vanity Fair; Quiz). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'Inside every living person is a dead person waiting to get out.'

Death has been fired by the Auditors of Reality for the heinous crime of developing…a personality. Sent to live like everyone else, Death takes a new name and begins working as a farmhand. He's got the scythe already, after all.

And for humanity, Death is just…gone. Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. If Death doesn't come for you, then what are you supposed to do in the meantime?

You can't have the undead wandering about like lost souls—there's no telling what might happen. Particularly when they discover that life really is only for the living…

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order, but Reaper Man is the second book in the Death series.

The first book in the Discworld series—The Colour of Magic—was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Almost as good

As the Nigel Planer. Had to give it a try, and it was a nice change of pace, but… planer just had the perfect voice for it.

Reaper Man re-recorded

Love this new version of Reaper Man, all the cast do a great job. I like the way there is one main narrator for the theme (DEATH), with the addition of the footnotes and DEATH himself by other actors.

Great book, annoying voice

Annoying voices and the way of reading just didn't manage to captivate me like other readers

the production

wonderful, it felt like I was reading it again for the first time and the end was exhilarating

Stunning and so heartwarming

As always Terry pratchett is funny, whimsical, thoughtful, and philosophical all at once. I just thought this was one of Is best endings. I’m so grateful that audible added a rich audio production

Reaper Man Review

How one bounces back from getting sacked from your job tells you a lot about yourself. For Death, he was shocked, maybe a bit sad. He has never done anything wrong, but still, he got fired. But then, he realized, he got the time of his life.

This is a beautiful story of growth and acceptance. Death becomes a new person, and so does Windle Poons, literally. Death becomes Bill Door, a sharecropper of sorts, and Windle Poons accidentally becomes a zombie. They both meet interesting and wonderful new people, and they help out those they can. They lost something, but they both gained new friendships. Maybe, it’s one of the best examples of how he can bounce back from a loss. The grieving time is needed, but once we have, oh, the wonderful things we can experience.

Lovely storytelling!

Well done on characterizations and keeping with the intent, the humor is wonderfully dry and well delivered.

Brilliant production

I am grateful for this updated series. I’ve been listening to the other audio versions for many years now, and I am happy to hear all of these books again with this fresh interpretation.

Well Done!

This is a really well done production. As usual the performances were outstanding and Terry's writing was interpreted beautifully. (I don't remember reading this one so I'll have to go through our library.)

One of the best yet

Not only is the story wonderful, as are all of Pratchett’s tales, this one is particularly thought and heart provoking. The narrator did a great job!
