About this listen

Dave Marwood is trapped in a soul-crushing dead-end job. He's in love with his work colleague Melanie and his only friend Gary is a conspiracy theory nut.

His life is going nowhere until he has a Near Death Experience—though Death thinks of it as a Near Dave Experience. He discovers gifts he never knew he possessed and a world he never dreamed existed. A world where the Grim Reaper is a hard-drinking, grumpy Billy Joel fan and the undead are bored, lonely, and dangerous.

If you like Douglas Adams and/or Pratchet, this is just up your street. Death, a Billy Joel fan, takes an apprentice, Dave, under his wing, or should that be scythe? Together they are up against another of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Truly, laugh put loud funny.

brilliant book, really loved the characters but the narration was terrible. He really needs to learn to narrate as if he were talking to a friend.

Storyline was good and would have been funny but the strange intonation of the narrator ruined it.

Annoying narration

Death is bored. Dave is dead. Melanie is unattainable. Their lives (or deaths) are intertwined. This is a great read.

Hilarious!
