These days I prefer audiobooks, so I went to my library's overdrive site. They currently only had 3-4 available and of these I chose Monstrous Regiment. I really enjoyed listening to it. I doubt I would have made it through it if I had been reading it, but I have discovered my taste in audiobooks is different than regular books. The person reading this book was very good at giving distinct voices to the many different characters and handled the humor very well.

I can definitely see myself listening to one of these books every six months or so, the same way I slowly worked through the 'Royal Spyness' Series of murder mysteries by Rhys Bowen until I was caught up.

How are the footnotes handed in the audiobook version?
