I liked her narration but all the 'umm's and 'ahhhs' and half-yawns got to me lol. Her Richard was much more bored with everything than my reading of him.

Confederacy of Dunces. Kennedy. If you haven’t read it find a copy because it is utterly hilarious vi tried to listen to audible version and very heart and soul of the book was gone. I said find a copy because it’s out of print I believe. The backstory of this book is so interesting and appropriate.

What's the book about? What's the back story?

Back story—manuscript found under author’s bed after he committed suicide. In the book, He is a ne’er do well living in New Orleans with his mom and the book is laugh out loud hilarious.

May have to give it a look. I could use something light after spending the last month slogging through Fairy Tale.

Your edit is not enough, as it is not your experience. Have you not listened to any audiobooks that ruined the experience for you?

My friend wanted to read “Call Me By Your Name” but the audiobook is narrated by Armie Hammer and that was a big turn-off for her.

Oh my god. I live for the question because I have such a strong opinion on it.
Donna Tartts “the secret history”
Good God.
I love her. I really do. But I am so terribly sorry. Her monotone, cute southern accent does NOT go in ANYWAY with the tone of her book. A wonderfully written book but man. I was listening to the audio book about 30% of the book because I had a lot of errands to do and wanted to just finish the novel - I cringed a lot!
