I hate when they switch narrators midseries.

Most of the Pratchett books are read by Nigel Planer, with the later ones read by David Briggs (I think was his name), both of whom are great. But there're three (i think) read by a woman. It really threw me. She was a good reader, but there was one character, unfortunately a very prominent one that she just plain got wrong. It sounded weird. You've got this old lady who's round, and wrinkly but with a strong right arm and big boots, and she gave her a really weird quavery voice that just sat completely wrong with all the other descriptions of her.

Totally wrecked that book for me.
