I'm giving this a 2.5 The narration was great, and most of the story was interesting but overall it just didn't strike me as much as some of the others. Kai Owen should be used more! ( ) One of the audio-only tie-in novels, read by Kai Owen on 2 CDs, and set between series 2 and 3. The last of Cardiff's traditional department stores, GR Owen, has just gone into administration. A pair of very slick operators from the administrators have arrived to audit the company's assets, and it's clear that they're interested in more than just the usual stock and staff assets. They're not the only ones, because two of the staff present to be interviewed happen to be Ianto and Gwen, working undercover on a project of Jack's. Nobody has seen the Department of Curiosities since 1905, and Jack wants to know why. Pity the store tries to kill him every time he sets foot in it... A well-constructed story with a very Torchwood feel to it, and some logical extrapolations of the Torchwood universe. It's very funny in places, not least because it openly references the similarities between GR Owen and Grace Brothers in Are you Being Served -- I particularly enjoyed the scene where Jack has some fun teasing Ianto about working in menswear. Very enjoyable, although I think not quite as good as Ghost Train, also written by James Goss and read by Kai Owen. I was mildly irritated in this one by Kai Owen's habit of leaving a Significant Pause so that you know he's finished speaking dialogue and moved to the dialogue tag. He didn't do this in Ghost Train, because it was first person and thus didn't really have dialogue tags. It's a distracting irritation from an otherwise good reader. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1697007.html It's a decent enough urban fantasy/horror tale, set in what is effectively a haunted department store, featuring also a rival capitalist version of Torchwood called Firestone. I was not as blown away by it as I was by the companion story Ghost Train, but it's an honourable addition to the Torchwood range. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
