New Torchwood Audio Book: In the Shadows

[suki_blue]

In the Shadows is the new Torchwood audio book just released by the BBC, and it is the best one yet. It was creepy, funny, in-character and exciting. Actually, it's a good example of what some of the regular TV episodes should have been like. Good writing, good plot. Eve Myles does a fabulous job of reading. She does seem unable to totally shift the Welsh accent when she's doing Jack, Tosh and Owen, but it isn't weird or distracting and her voice is clear and pleasant to listen to. My only complaint would be that it could have been a little longer (it runs at 2 hours 30 minutes) as the end felt a bit rushed.

One of my main concerns with the Torchwood novels and audio books is the amount of Ianto we get for our money and, in this case, I'm completely satisfied with the quantity and quality of Ianto-y and Janto-y goodness.

Ah, so there is Jack/Ianto in there? ;) I'm just ordering it now.

Yep, there's quite a bit, and a tiny glimpse of something else that made me sit up and beg ;o)

[lucy-locket.livejournal.com]

Hehe. You have to tell me now ;) PM me? Please! Haha.

LOL, okay ...

Oh, and I only just noticed your header. It's probably been there ages, but I'm always late to the party :p Anyway, I definitely approve. Everyone needs a little Gwen in their life ;)

Thanks! I only made it yesterday. I just love Gwen so much and after listening to Eve reading In the Shadows I needed a fix! Hee!

Ooh, would you tell me too? Please.

In the Shadows sounds really interesting indeed. I've read only positive comments about it on DW Forum today but now you made me curious about this little something that made you beg. If it is what I think I'd like to sit up and beg with you :)

*runs to buy it now*

I really do think you'll enjoy it. I'm looking forward to listening to it again when I've got a spare couple of hours!

I shall PM you now with a little begging spoiler ;o)

Thanks, got your message :)

Have you heard David Tennant doing the Dr Who audio books? That's weird because when he's narrating he has a Scottish accent, but when he's the doctor he doesn't! (He's amazingly good!)

LOL yes, you're right!! I've got Pest Control and it's brilliant. It does make you a bit confused at first with the accent and then no accent ...

I have one read by Catherine Tate, too (Forever Trap, I think), but haven't read it yet. Must get more DW audio books!
