Interesting thread, I just listened to True Grit narrated by Donna Tartt, and thought it was a wonderful performance. (I see it has some poor reviews on Audible, but the complaints I read were about intermittent swallowing and non-verbal mouth sounds - I could hear those when I used a good pair of headphones but not with regular earbuds). She did an amazing job of bringing Mattie Ross to life in this story.
I almost couldn't finish an audiobook narrated by William Dufris. I don't think it was just his narration, because I found the protagonist of the book annoying, and didn't like the way the plot was handled, but his reading style didn't make the book easier to follow or more enjoyable. In contrast, I'm listening to the Rho Agenda series narrated by McLeod Andrews, and his reading makes it easier to overlook some of the annoying features of the book.
