DTTMOT is quite a commitment and I'm pleased you've found it enough of a pleasurable experience to make it through to the end and take the time to leave this message. :) While the movies of the Millennium series are very good the books contain so much more... I think you'll enjoy those also! Best - S. Thanks for your comments.

I'm on part 4 and I'm so addicted! I am reluctant to finish... I will definitely seek out other recordings by you. Thank you for your lovely treatment of this material. I have the Millenium series cued up next. I read them myself and watched the movies, but I can't wait for YOU to read them to me! :) Simon,

Always good to hear from people who enjoy the books (not to mention the narration). I understand the difficulty when the narrator's voice changes - glad it went in my favour. I hope you continue to enjoy audiobooks - and especially mine! All the very best - S. Thanks, Stacey. Always good to hear from people who enjoy the books (not to mention the narration).

I wanted to tell you that being new to audio books, your voice amazed me. I honestly don't think I could have read the books and enjoyed them as much. I almost cried truthfully when I reached my third book and discovered it wasn't you. I refused to listen until my boyfriend got me the version read by you. Explaining that you had created a mental image of the characters and I just couldn't enjoy it by anyone else. Thank you for making the books so enjoyable and for having a wonderful voice. Stacey Simon,

I would love to be from Wales. But, alas, nothing so glorious in my background - I was born and brought up in Brighton on the south coast. A great town in its own right, but not as romantic as Wales. Thanks for the compliment, Cherrill. Wales? Ah! I love Wales… I would love to be from Wales.

It's quite amazing how you change your voice and keep the story going so seamlessly. My question is ...where were you raised. I seem to feel there is a bit of Welsh in your accent ...not the valleys of course but perhaps South East Wales. The Welsh have lovely big round voices and that is you....please satisfy my curiosity. Thankyou. Cherrill Hello Simon

I must say I am more inclined to purchase the "Dance" over the "Big Question" as I have never been good with non fiction - even speculative non-fiction. I do enjoy historical fiction though but I admit that I had to put down Wolf Hall when it was clear that I and apparently several other struggling readers had no idea who was talking. I did wonder whether if you were narrating I might have a better time but then I decided you had more sense. But there is so much on my iPhone that I don't know where to go next. Titus Alone, a Trollope, and even a few here and there that others narrated. I very much enjoyed Cloud Atlas and confess that John Lee may be my second favorite. Are you two friends? Hoping you have a good holiday and a great new year. With continued admiration, Robin Hi Simon – Merry Christmas.

I am yet another devoted fan who has just finished listening to you narrate THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. I have to say--I have fallen hopelessly in love with your voice. You've actually created a real problem for me. I don't believe reading a book on my own will ever be the same! Thank you for making these great books even greater and I look forward to many more of your audiobooks. Hi Simon!

This just might inspire me to do more work in my website - I've been very lax and I need to keep in touch with people beyond the four walls of my studio. Sometimes I can get too insular!
