Summary

Travel with Steve, doomed for eternity to serve as hell’s Mr. Fixit, on a wild ride through the circles of hell in this best-selling, humorous fantasy series. The box set includes a complete story arc originally published in:  

Hell’s Super  

A Cold Day in Hell  

Deal with the Devil  

The Reluctant Demon  

Circles in Hell has been variously described as satire and humor, comedy fantasy, or paranormal humor in the spirit of Christopher Moore, Tom Holt, Douglas Adams, and Gary Larson. The series takes the everyday frustrations of modern life and expands them to hellish proportions. 

You never know who you will run into in Cain's cracked inferno. You might encounter a great inventor, a movie star, a mythological being, a very large bat, and, of course, more than the occasional devil and demon.

Loved them

I really enjoyed these books and the quirky way at looking at the afterlife, my only problem is the narrator's attempts at accents are just bad. But if you can listen past that they are great!

Boring, Boring, Boring

Narrator sounds like he's got somewhere else to be. Story is so slow moving it makes you wish it's you that's in hell, not wasting your time listening to this rubbish.

Avoid this actor

The voice actor is quite frankly terrible. His staccato speech is very off putting, making fluid reading seem like some sort of sisyphean task. Unfortunately that isn't even the nadir of his performance, as his attempt at a Scottish accent is very possibly the weirdest mutilation of the accent I have ever heard.
Whilst the story has some redeeming features it isn't strong enough to cancel out such an atrocious performance.
I couldn't recommend anyone buying this set of 4 books unless it was re-recorded with a different actor.

Hell is clearly quite a boring place

There is nothing terrible about this audiobook, but I have just returned it.

The reader of this audiobook does a competent job, and I would go so far as to say is enjoyable to listen to with clear diction.

The stories are mediocre at best I feel. The audiobook is extremely long, and while there are stories being told they are not engaging or particularly entertaining in the telling. The comparison to modern humorous writers seems a little over complementary. The author underestimated the audience with needless explanations, moves very slowly and lacks wit and charm with humour coming from most obvious sources. There is no challenge in this book whatsoever, just many hours spent in hope of some.

Not for me

This set was not for me. I understand the humour and I think it would be really funny for some. I recommend you listen to the sample, if it tickles your fancy…go for it.

Good story Line

Good story lines, voices by the narrator can be a bit annoying, but definitely an easy listen.

A hell of a time

A really good listen. I found it a little difficult to stay awake.
not because of boredom but for listening in so long.
And having to find where I fell asleep.
And it's a damn good listen

Funny and good story

Started reading book one as wanted something a bit cheerful and loved it so much I immediately got the audible box set of the 4 books. Light hearted and funny and really enjoyed the narrators different characters. Would highly recommend
