It must be pretty awesome listening to it, like you're having a personal conversation with the author even if it's totally one-sided.

Audiobooks over the years have improved so much. While some of the non professional readers are pretty good, voice talent really is, well, a talent as well as a skill/craft. It's amazing how a really good voice talent can spice up a just ok book. It's also amazing how a bad voice talent (or perhaps I should say an inappropriate voice talent) can ruin a great book.

Luckily I have not listened to any bad audiobooks, yet!
