message 1: by Amber (new)

Amber I've read a number of the books voted on this list, and sadly, I'm not convinced people are voting for books that are really definitively better in audio due to the nature of the story - they're just voting for audiobooks they like. That makes this list less useful than it could be.


message 2: by *Dawn (new)

*Dawn Yes Please by Amy Poehler is listed twice (currently at #10 and #122). FYI

I will vouch for my selections being better in audio. Outlander, American Gods, Lonesome Dove, Born a Crime...


message 4: by *Dawn (last edited Jan 20, 2020 08:37PM) (new)

*Dawn I have a question: How do we read the optional "why did you vote on this book?" comments left by other people? Mine stick with my votes on the right side of the page, but I'm not seeing where I can read others' opinions.
[EDITED TO ADD: Got it! I see if you click on the spot under the book where it says "__ people voted" then all the voters pop up with their comments.]

Oh, totally agree on Lonesome Dove and Born a Crime. Can't speak to the other two,but will seriously consider American Gods.

American Gods is one of those full-cast narrations. That adds so much when you are listening to audio. You get sucked right into the story.
