About this listen
For a millennia, they sat waiting, traveling through the dark, empty, cold vacuum of space, plotting our demise. Every continuity was planned in detail. They were ready to wipe out our armies, crush any resistance, and sweep aside any warriors. Mankind’s fate was sealed. It was only ever just a matter of time. What they had not planned for - what they are not ready for - is Karen! Any likeness between Karen and any real persons alive or dead is purely inevitable.

Bonkers
Warning : This audiobook is not suitable for minors, adults of a nervous disposition or anyone called Karen
Once again Simon Carr delivers a madcap, lunacy filled tale from the deep recesses of his dark creative mind.
Karen is a another laugh-out-loud episode in the Apocalyse Blockers series and is filled with hilarious dialog from start to finish
If you're not a fan of British humour or excessive expletives then leave this one on the shelf, otherwise fill your boots and then check out the rest of the books in the series.
Why doesn't this have 5 stars? The use of an American narrator for a book that is very British in tone. But's that's just my opinion being British myself

Get Me Your Manager..
Another hilarious tale from Simon. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. A solid effort. Well done. Similar to what another review pointed out, this is British in nature (references, slang, style of humor etc.) and just every so often, I felt the delivery missed the mark, because it was narrated in an American accent. Still very funny though. I give Karen 5 stars.

Yes that Karen!
Karen is looking for a manager, the only problem is she was looking for one on a spaceship in the middle of space with aliens who want to take over the world. Unfortunately for them they put their portal right and Karen’s front garden and after a drunken night she inadvertently went through it. She is the only thing between awesome and aliens… God help us all! I read this book on Kindle and now I have listen to it on audible and I must say a rather the Kindle version. Karen lives in Council housing somewhere in Britain and so I was expecting to hear a British accent and was disappointed when the narrator sounded American. I thought you did an OK job but sounded stilted and parts of a reading. I still love Simon cars books and would listen to them if the Cookie Monster read them, but having said that I just wish he would get British narrators, Because most of these books or set in Britain. I highly recommend this book it is still funny and laugh out loud good time!

Brilliant funny Listen
The aliens have spent Nine hundred years just getting to earth, have they bit off more than they can chew by making Karen their enemy
Karen is Rude, sarcastic. Fowl mouthed , has a problem with authority and did I MENTION RUDE. The aliens don't know what they are messing with.
This is a laugh out loud funny story. I will be reading and listening to more by this author

Hilariously funny, but lacking a suitable narrator
Disclaimer: I was provided a copy of this book, free of charge, in exchange for an honest review.
After Noobs, I realised that Simon Carr has the sense of humour I liked, that being rude, caustic and foul. It was for this reason that I was so excited to listen to this adventure and, for the most part, it's been just as good, if not better.
So here we have the tale of an alien invasion, years in the making and the Earth woman inadvertently at the centre of the attack and those who seek to threat it. It's full of British humour and a wonderful sense of both Mel Brookes style comedy and the British self-deprecation we're well known for.
The narration is fine, but the lack of a British voice is really detrimental to the audio, and while Skye does a brilliant job of narrating, there is a real sense of missed timing and delivery on jokes that maybe I only us Brits have a clear grasp of.
In all though, it's both a funny book, a charming self-ribbing we love and a guide to how to handle Managers at Nandos.
