I had never imagined audiobooks could be so AMAZING. I'd always been super wary of them because I struggle with concentration problems and the enitre format just seemed really intimidating. And honestly I did struggle with getting used to them at the begining but now they have become one of the best things in my life. Ugh I'm in love.

Tbh it really depends on the narrator. I can only go on if the narrator is really good with voices.
And second thing that really helps me is having the text version alongside. So in the beginning when I started, I would read and listen together in order to get used to the format. That really helped me. Now I don't need to do that but I still like to keep a kindle version in order to refer to something that I didn't quite catch on the audio.
I am currently reading(listening to) a historic sci fi Wolf by Wolf and omg,this lady is one of the best narrators ever. She is amazing with voices and storytelling!

I still need to keep the text version (kindle) with me to refer to it sometimes when I don't catch certain words and stuff because I'm still fairly new but yeah I'm so glad I came out of my shell of preconceptions and gave audio books a chance hehehe.
I struggled with them in the beginning too but when they're narrated well, they're so much fun!
That's totally how I felt! I used to listen to them a lot as a kid but moved away from them as I got older. But recently when I have a long commute especially I love popping in a good audiobook. It's another great way to experience a book.
