About this listen
Bobby Dollar has a problem or four of epic proportions.
Problem one: his best friend Sam has given him an angel's feather that also happens to be evidence of an unholy pact between Bobby's employers and those who dwell in the infernal depths.
Problem two: Eligor, Grand Duke of Hell, wants to get his claws on the feather at all costs, but particularly at all cost to Bobby.
Problem three: Bobby has fallen in love with Casimira, Countess of Cold Hands, who just happens to be Eligor's girlfriend.
Problem four: Eligor, aware of Problem three, has whisked Casimira off to the Bottomless Pit itself, telling Bobby he will never see her again unless he hands over the feather.
But Bobby, long-time veteran of the endless war between above and below, is not the type of guy who finds Hell intimidating. All he has to do is toss on a demon's body, sneak through the infernal gates, solve the mystery of the angel's feather, and rescue the girl. Saving the day should just be a matter of an eon or two of anguish, mutilation and horror. If only it were that easy.

A great story but the different narrator spoiled it for me.

Shocking British Accent!!
Loved this book apart from one thing . Tim Flavin's supposedly English accent. I have no idea who let him do it but could they not let him do it again. Most of his accents were bad but that one made me wince.
Great story, moved along nicely and was a good romp.

Disappointed
The narrative was forced. Not a patch on Dirty Streets of Heaven. Hopefully no 3 will be better

An enjoyable follow up, let down by poor narration
Picking up from Dirty Streets of Heaven, this is another fun slice of fantasy from Tad Williams, with a vibrantly realised vision of living and working in Hell.
Unfortunately the narrator does a poor job with many of the characters - the Solihull sisters appearance, whilst brief, is of particular note as their accents vacillate back and forth between Birmingham and Delhi. The voice of Dollar himself is fine, which prevents this version from becoming unlistenable - recommended, but check out the sample first!

Slightly disappointed
Really in enjoyed the first story but this one was just not the same. It had some great characters but the storyline just didn't seem to do much. The narrative was not as bad as i was expecting after reading other reviews. Overall I think it was just a stop gap before the final book which I will be starting almost straight away.

Tad Williams at His Best
What did you like most about Happy Hour in Hell?
The descriptions of what hell is like and how long eternity there would be like are both graphic and amusing.
What did you like best about this story?
The development of Bobby Dollars character and his irreverent relationship with his bosses in heaven.
Have you listened to any of Tim Flavin’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No but it was very well read although I did prefer the narration of the first book in the series The Dirty Streets of Heaven.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Tad Williams is one of the best fantasy authors out there and with this urban series he has outdone himself.

brilliant story
loved the story and couldn't stop listening. The narrator was a bit off in places but still can't wait till I get my next credit so I can get the third book to see what Bobby Dollar will do now

Change of narrator!
Why change from Joseph May who narrates the dirty streets of heaven!? I loved the story and became invested in the characters portrayed brilliantly by May. I’m not as keen on Tim, something doesn’t work. Such a shame as I really enjoyed TDSOH

The disappointing one.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The time wasn't wasted, one neded the continuity but it was something of a comedwon fron the first novel.
Would you be willing to try another book from Tad Williams? Why or why not?
I already did. Despite the fall off of this novel I enjoyed the Series.
What didn’t you like about Tim Flavin’s performance?
His characterisations were loose and not kept together. Particularly his characterisation of the Solihull Sisters. Awful.
Do you think Happy Hour in Hell needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
There is one, much better than this.
Any additional comments?
It seemed a shame that this isn't as well written or performed than the other two in the series.

Poor reading
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend this as an e-book however the reading on the audio isnt great certainly not as good as the Reader of the first Bobby Dollar book.
