Bill Nighy's vocalization of Pratchett's footnotes is a bit low-energy, but not distractingly so (the chimes that bookend these parts are a different matter). While Stephen Briggs' audiobook version of Death will always be my favorite, Serafinowicz does a fine job and really understands the comic timing well. The story is everything you'd expect from a Terry Pratchett / Discworld book: endlessly clever, imaginative, insightful, and satirical. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

The first book in the Discworld series- The Colour of Magic-was published in 1983. The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order, but Soul Music is the third book in the Death series. There's a new, addictive music in Discworld. The only problem is, everyone mistakes her for the Tooth Fairy… When Death decides he needs a well-earned break, he leaves Susan to take over the family business. Susan hasn't exactly had a normal upbringing, with a skeletal grandfather who rides a white horse and wields a scythe.

It felt like music.'īeing sixteen is always difficult, but it's even more so when there's a Death in the family. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. 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. The audiobook of Soul Music is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford ( Fleabag Vanity Fair Quiz).
