True, a good narrator makes all the difference! Being hearing impaired doesn’t help matters. I find that if I don’t like the voice or someone doesn’t pronounce consonants properly I have a hard time. I borrow my audiobooks from the library so if it doesn’t work for me I can send it right back.

An example of an audiobook that worked for me was World War Z. Various actors narrating. It was incredible!

Same, for me it's narrators who are older British men that are impossible. I'm someone who needs subtitles with David Attenborough, so there's no way I'll keep my attention span if I don't understand half of what they're saying!

Totally agree with the multiple narrators, case in point I LOVED Daisy Jones and the Six.

Yesl! We're all different and need to see what we like. I read WW Z on kindle but I heard its much better on audio. Some are much easier to understand with great narration.
