I received the UK audio CD version of "Lord Loss" today, and all I can say is -- WOW!!!! The reader, Rupert Degas, has done a brilliant job! He reads at just the right pace, and handles the voices absolutely perfectly -- his Lord Loss is ace, exactly the way I imagined it should be, not overdone; Dervish's accent isn't quite the way I thought it would be, but it works very well; but my favourite is Bill-E -- he makes him sound like a wannabe rap star -- hilarious!!!!! The packaging is great too, and there's some spooky musical effects to round it all off.

I'd definitely recommend the CDs if you're into audio books. If you can't find it in your local shop, ask them to order it for you. Alternatively you can order it directly through my publishers, HarperCollins, by clicking on this link: http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/books/default.aspx?id=33332

You can also order it through Amazon by clicking here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0007213891/shanville -- but they're currently quoting a 4 to 6 week wait for it!!
