Some books just cannot be "read" to you, because of the complexity of names. Examples:
- "A Thousand Miles Up the Nile." Place and people names that you never seen or heard before. Just impossible as an audiobook, then so easy when you read the text.
- "Last Orders." A character study unveiled by dialogue, with too many characters with too many simple names. Ray, Amy Vince, Lenny, Vic, Mandy, Jack, Bernie, Brenda, June, Jimmy.

An example of an easy listen is any Sue Grafton alphabet series book. Not too many characters, and the pace is slow enough.
