About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.
Soon to be a Sky Original movie!
Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. Everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice has a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and his very own plague of rats - strangely educated rats . . .
But in Bad Blintz, the little con suddenly goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune and now the rats must learn a new word. EVIL. It's not a game any more. It's a rat-eat-rat world. And that might only be the start . . .
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is a standalone novel.

Top notch story, but narration severely lacking
The character voices were inconsistent and all very same-y. The pacing was off, and the random pauses mid-sentence seem as tho Ariyon was reading punctuation that shouldn't actually be there. Also the delivery of lines, was often off-the-mark, with the wrong emphasis or emotion. Overall I'm not sure if it's down to the voice actor, or the directing, or if there just weren't enough takes done to get it right. I would recommend going for the other version of this book on audible, narrated by Tony Robinson.

Needs a different narrator
Brilliant story as per usual from Sir Terry Pratchett, but this narrator is awful. He pauses at strange places, his voices are samey and his annunciation is terrible, I'm still not 100% sure what the names of the rats are because of his bad diction.
I'd recommend the book, but not this particular iteration
