I haven't, but I believe that's the version that Charlie dislikes.
Have you considered getting a US OverDrive membership? You wouldn't own the audios, of course, but it would be a pretty cost-effective way of listening to them; a Free Library of Philadelphia membership costs $50/year. There are the other benefits from membership and FLP also has Freading and Hoopla.
Rather than buying a pig on a poke, you could always read the first book and see if it's to your taste. In fact, that's how I got sucked in; a friend forced me to read the first one and I found it delightful. Just then was when I decided to give audiobooks a try, so I borrowed the audiobook of the second from OverDrive and it was even more enjoyable. I was hooked, on both the series in particular and audiobooks in general.
