About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Soul Music 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.
'This didn't feel like magic. It felt a lot older than that. It felt like music.'
Being sixteen is always difficult, but it's even more so when there's a Death in the family. Susan hasn't exactly had a normal upbringing, with a skeletal grandfather who rides a white horse and wields a scythe.
When Death decides he needs a well-earned break, he leaves Susan to take over the family business. The only problem is, everyone mistakes her for the Tooth Fairy…
Well, not the only problem. There's a new, addictive music in Discworld. It's lawless. It changes people. It's got a beat and you can dance to it.
It's called Music With Rocks In. And it won't fade away…
The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order, but Soul Music is the third 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.

Great story, mostly well read
I’m still confused as to why the reader does excellent accents and speech but reads the connecting prose like an elevator advising which floor is next.
Enjoyable story though.

Good book but the narrator has a limited range of voices
Almost all the males characters were given the same Catherine Tate-esque voice, which really let the book down. Disappointing because I had waited ages for the new recordings to come out.

good story, great performance
Sian Clifford managed to make the single word "squeak" from the death of rats carry a conversation, and covered the rest of the characters with enough range to know who said what before narration confirmed it. Another great discworld book. the only negative are the interludes with Bill Nighy, they're a jarring interruption for what many times is a short sentence.

Loved it
One of my favourite discworld books. Think the narration from Sian Clifford adds life to the characters and felt myself being sucked in. Better than a lot who do just one accent/tone throughout.
Love Peter Serafinowicz as death too.

So good
It’s always a relief when one of your favourites is looked after. Sian Clifford does a sparkling job as the lead narrator, getting Susan and Buddy so right. Serafinowizc is a brilliant death but what I really loved was the Geordie Glod. I’d never imagined this voice for him but it was absolutely perfect. I’ve now listened all the way through the witches, Small Gods and am nearly at the end of the Death series (2 to go) but not one of them has been less than a 4 star experience so far. I’m loving them!

Not keen on narrator but story excellent
Not keen on narrator, voices didn’t quite match the characters as I’d imagined. Too many accents going on.
But the story as always is excellent

Another classic…
… always an enjoyable listen / read when Death and his relatives and entourage factor large in the plot.

Truly wonderful
I'm not sold on all of the new recordings of Discworld, I don't like the way some of the celebrities perform the characters / stories. But Sian Clifford is fantastic of course Bill and Peter are great as ever but Sian has to carry the whole thing and she does it effortlessly. This is truly wonderful.
