Kate Reading doesn't always get the tone of the scene, and she is sometimes annoying, but tolerable.

Michael Kramer is (imho) amazing. He often captures the essence of the story, and I think he does an admirable job with the different accents and characters.

Robert Jordan was a story teller, and I feel the audiobooks are a fine medium for experiencing the Wheel of Time.

Besides, there's nothing better to pass the time doing chores.


I agree. I enjoy listening to the spoken word. The audiobooks are great in the car on a long drive. Michael Kramer is better than Kate Reading IMO. RJ is quoted on one of the audiobook interviews as saying that he likes to listen to the audio version himself as it gives him a different perspective of his work.
