I have been doing a lot of audiobook listening lately and I attended a recent blogger webinar about audiobook reviewing which got me thinking more and more about audiobooks. So I wanted to know more of what you think about them! From there, Audiobook Discussions has been born!
I want to hear about your best audiobook listening experience!
This one is a little difficult for me because I have had a few really good listening experiences lately, but very few have had a combination of 5 stars for both the book and the narration. I am going to have to select The Secret Life of Anna Blanc by Jennifer Kincheloe. The narrator was able to carry off the style of the writing/way the main character thought which made me feel like I WAS that heroine. The production in terms of pacing, background sound etc, was spot on and I was thrilled with the narrator. My full review can be found here.
Please share with me your favorite listening experience because I would LOVE to pick up a new book, regardless of the genre!

I have such a hard time listening to audiobooks.
ReplyDeleteI'm hit and miss, it can really depend. If I'm actively doing something else like cleaning or some paperwork I'm good with them, but if I get distracted and start browsing the web or whatnot I will lose the thread entirely.

This was a great audio, very entertaining and thought-provoking, fantastic narration. Two weeks after finishing this I'm still thinking about it!
Thanks for the recommendation - never heard of this one. That's how you know it is a good read, when it sticks with you long after.
