I can't focus on audio books at all. I might as well be listening to beach noise or two children banging pots together. They all sound the same to me.

I actually disagree with you here. In Gone Girl there were 2 different narrators. A female read the chapters from the wife's point of view and a male from the husband's. I thought it added a lot to the experience of this book. There is another book, that I have not listened to yet, that has been completely recorded by 2 different narrators. I think the point is to give you the point of view of 2 different characters.Brianaporter wrote:Absolutely not. I don't want a robot to read to me. That takes everything out of it. You can no longer read for yourself because you have to go at the pace of the robot. It also takes away the imagination from it. You won't even wonder how the character sounds anymore.

I find audio books that have an expressive narrator to be quite entertaining. I have had the opportunity to use various forms, and for the most part, Audible seems to have employed some eloquent and very passionate narrators. Using audio books also allows me to engage in other activities while completing a book title.
