The first book is amazing, but he never narrated the remaining books.
The rest of the books in the series are narrated by a different guy, not nearly as good, and he does a weird New York accent for Zaphod which is just totally wrong.
- p0w3n3d 2y agoThe following are read by Martin Freeman, he's the actor who played hobbit, but I believe he was chosen for actually playing Artur Dent in the movie. I think the actor reading the book has his freedom to interpret the characters and invent his own voices, especially because he won't be able to read as another actor did, but I'm coming there (to the second book) so I'll try to remember to come back and tell you what I think of a two headed alien villain from another planet having a New York accent... IMO accent of Tonks' impression by Stephen Fry was also kinda strange to me... I wonder why the accent was so thick, she was just Scottish...
