I've only had that experience once when the reader was quite bad and all the voices were caricatures. My audiobook habit started with the Shannara books, which I enjoyed as a kid but couldn't handle Brooks' USA Today, thesaurus-at-my-elbow prose as an adult, making them perfect bedtime audio. Unfortunately, the first book in Voyage of the Jerle Shannara I picked up was not only abridged but read by an absolute hack who apparently never worked in the business before or since. All his female voices sounded like a middle school child making fun of girls, and I don't recall the specifics of his male voices but they were equally bad.
