I actually judged this category for The Audies. Some of them were completely unlistenable. Others just did a poor job, despite the story itself being good. The few that were trained actors or comedians did very well.

But, yes, I always listen to the sample first, as some of them have (for unfathomable reasons) chosen voice actors that are extremely irritating.
