John Barrowman's American accent has Scottish undertones and cadences that are hard to duplicate. Its part of the character's witty charm. I have all the Torchwood audiobooks and noticed the struggle actors have with his dialect. As an American, I think that if you are going to do a book mostly about Captain Jack, bring back the original.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-20052836398804839782012-04-24T22:40:58.327+01:002012-04-24T22:40:58.327+01:00Cathy, I don't think you quite understand how ...Cathy, I don't think you quite understand how these audios work.<br /><br />Someone reads the entire story (including all the characters).<br /><br />This is not the first time it has happened, and it won't be the last.Cameron McEwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901099890643285873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-46030194418861937682012-04-24T18:42:50.915+01:002012-04-24T18:42:50.915+01:00Seriously, a voice actor doing John Barrowman'...Seriously, a voice actor doing John Barrowman's voice? He's not dead, you know.<br /><br />I don't care how great the story is, I'm not buying if John isn't in it. They've tried making TW with just Jack and Gwen, now they're making TW without even Jack, in my opinion. Jack=John B, always.<br /><br />I don't mind a Torchwood with OTHER actors...it's a long-standing organization and there should be NEW & different people. But Jack IS John Barrowman, hands down.

Her reference also does not "take up all the space at the end" - it was a "mention". Read the review properly.<br /><br /><br /><br />Thirdly, and yet again, Torchwood "fans" display just how bloody awful they can be.<br /><br />Yeah, you read that last one right.Cameron McEwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901099890643285873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-26165058151576481092012-04-24T02:15:17.294+01:002012-04-24T02:15:17.294+01:00Bah humbug....

I had such high hopes for a little of the TW I'd fallen in love with. <br /><br />As they say, "Fool me once, shame on you" (CoE), "Fool me twice, shame on me" (TW audios). Not gonna give them a chance to fool me a third time. <br /><br />This is NOT my TW and I really don't care about how Jack feels in regards to Gwen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-63176565482831829282012-04-23T22:06:18.281+01:002012-04-23T22:06:18.281+01:00Joe Lidster said on twitter that Ianto was not in ...Joe Lidster said on twitter that Ianto was not in this book.

But regarding the mention of Gwen, I shall wait until I find out it's not "Oh, I love her so" or some other bit of glorification/adoration before I decide to buy.
