That's when I use them as well. Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 23/06/2010 04:51:09 AM
I purchased TFoH on audiobook recently to see how it was. I hated it.


I can't stand audiobooks either. The only decent ones I've ever heard were read by great actors.

The few audiobooks I've heard were all atrocious. I've hated all the WOT ones I've listened to a bit. Flat, boring and distracting - the reading and tone of both the man and woman annoyed me completely. I'm really puzzled that some people love those (and audiobooks in general). To me, this is a format I'd love if I were blind, but otherwise it's really not something for me.


Like on long drives or doing housework or when I'm on the treadmill.

I listen to books when I'm exercising or gardening.
I don't like the WoT ones, but I have a few because people knew I like the books and they knew I liked audiobooks so they got them for me. I listen to them because I like WoT and even if the voices are annoying sometimes I get something new from listening to it.
I have the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit all read by Rob Inglis. He has a beautiful voice. His Treebeard is better than any I've ever heard. He's with the Royal Shakespeare Company though, so go figure.
I also like how Jim Dale reads the Harry Potter books. I have a couple of them.
