About this listen
Everything was better in the '90s unless it was being attacked by ghost witches. If it was being attacked by ghost witches then it was not that great; although it happened at a great time and in an awesome setting!

Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations.

I'm not all that special, really. I'm sure there are a lot of girls with old gypsy blood who see the dead, have killer cults hunting their family, and turn into something that gets scary when they panic. Yep. I'm just an ordinary girl. I wish people would believe that. I've been labeled as one thing or another for most of my life: Death Girl. Crazy Gypsy Girl. Gothic Chick. Monster. It took my mother's death for me to finally start getting answers about what's really been going on. Unfortunately, most of the answers come from men...who aren't just men.

No spit an polish – just brutal, magical comedy
I love this one. I love the setting, I love the premise, I love the cast and …and..EVERYTHING.
I am, one might say – and forgive the pun – a raving fan.
The book could fairly (I think) be placed somewhere between a Terry Pratchet novel, in style and humor vs. “the Craft” in the “witches want to rule the world” department – as well as Pulp Fiction on speed for the language, I guess.
There isn’t much development of characters, the plot is a fast affair with not a break in the action. I love the premise and the execution – how Carr comes up with this is mindboggling. I do get a slight feeling of Deus ex machinegun (because normal divine intervention really doesn’t quite cut it in this story) with some of what turns out to work – but that’s actually what makes this listen hilarious. (among other things)
The narration is probably going to split the waters, I think. I love and have watched a lot of (British) English movies in the genre (think Hot Fuzz, lock stock and two smoking barrels, stand-up comedy, talk shows) and have a pretty strong understanding of colloquialisms, slang and dialect. I love the heavy dialect and I have hearty laughs at the not quite so refined choice of…descriptive…narrative.
Having said that - This listen had me straining my ears to the max at some points. It does take away a bit of the ease of listen. And the swearing – through no fault of the narrator – makes this not for the faint of heart
– strong language, substance abuse.

Mental! Mental! Chicken Oriental!
This book has it all at the Ice Cream Truck! Flying Squirrels, Witches, Zombies that pose riddles! Join the Rave!!
I am addicted to the books of Simon Carr! Each are fall down funny.
Although I love reading these stories, as I can really appreciate and laugh at my leisure, the audiobooks are so wonderful as I multitask. The bad thing is that they might catch you unaware as you have just sipped a drink.
Great narration and fun book! Well worth your time!!

Even funnier in hearing!
I originally read respect to the man in the ice cream van, several years ago on kindle unlimited. (The act of ku for this is generous on his part for what you get out of it) considering what I heard for narration when it came to Mr. Carr’s other works like Noobs and Bob and the Blob (for which he’s made me into a bigger fan with each) I was curious what he would do for narration here. Mr. Carr teams up with different highly talented narrators for his books, and the talent here was no exception. The voices are unique and fitting, and deliver the hilarity to a greater degree. I guess curiosity doesn’t always kill the cat. Sometimes, it makes the cat howl with laughter.

Impressive work by narrator- wicked humor
Really impressive accent specificity and character consistency by narrator Kent Cadwallader. His narration is a joyful fun ride. The story starts out strong with wickedly funny politically incorrect “lads getting wasted” humor. As it progresses, however, the fantasy climax falls short and somewhat loses the thread- as one does while tripping, I guess.

Three Guys & Ghost Witches
Simon Carr has written a story of three guys who decided to make some money by hosting a rave in the woods. Everything was going to plan until they inadvertently allowed some ghost witches to escape from their prison. The story was humorous and fun, and I found it entertaining. Kent Cadwallader's narration was great, and his performance added to the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Witches potion… oldtimey drug slang
I was really not expecting this to be any good has the title sounded so goofy I didn’t take it seriously. But I guess egg on my face has this is a great story that blends 80’s UK mentality and a thick history that people will be drawn into.
The story is 30 shock 30 stoner time and 40 LOL till you drop.

This book = Hot Fuzz + Hocus Pocus!
Dave, Stan, and Mongy are three friends who are in need of money. In order to get some money, they decide to throw an illegal rave. Unfortunately, in the course of setting things up for the rave, the three friends mistakenly set free some witches who began to cause problems. But not to worry! Dorothy the White Witch is on the case and she's going to make sure that Dave, Stan, and Mongy are punished for colluding with the evil witches! Wait. They're not colluding with the witches? Then why did they make contact with the witches? They didn't? Oh, dear. Well, we still have to stop the witches.
This story is like a combination of Hot Fuzz and Hocus Pocus, and is absolutely hysterical. Simon Carr has managed to deliver another wonderfully comedic story that will have you laughing from the very beginning. This book is narrated by Kent Cadwallader, who does a great job. His narration pulls you into the story from the very beginning. With the exception of a repeated sentence at the beginning of one of the chapters (and I'm not entirely sure that wasn't intentional, either), the narration was mistake-free.
So, long review short - if you want a funny story that will have you laughing out loud, then you need to either read or listen to this book. If, on the other hand, you want a book that will bore you nearly to death, then you definitely don't want to read or listen to this book, so move along. No, really, move along... Ok, good. Now that the boring people have moved on, I want to reiterate to those of you remaining that this book is really funny, and you should definitely get a copy to read/listen to. I also plan to listen to it again because, not only is it funny enough to warrant a re-read/listen, but also because it is short enough that I can do so in a single afternoon.
