that's SOOO true! there are books i thought were just okay as books, but with the right narrator they become a treat. susan ericksen got me to listen to all the "in death" books, bringing the characters to life and just making it all great where i had given up reading the books years ago on book three.
then there's neil gaiman, who wrote some of my favorite books, and his narration on his own books, neverwhere and stardust, made the audio versions really wonderful.
and there are unfortunately narrators out there who take my 5-star favorites and turn them into 2-star disappointments. i learned the hard way to always listen to the sample.
