I have both versions and I think Jim Dale does the different voices better, IMO. When I listen to Fry I sometimes get who is speaking mixed up and it detracts from the experience.
I am listening to Kate Daniels - Magic Slays (urban fantasy series), and the narrator for these books is amazing.
There was a great free audiobook offerend on iTunes called The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan (action/adventure fantasy), I think it was listed as a podbook or some kind of mix between a podcast and a audiobook. The narrator wasn't the best, but the story was good enough that I purchased the next 4 ebooks (and they just got better).
Other great audiobooks are:
- The Wheel of Time (epic fantasy)
- Beautiful Creatures (YA fantasy)
- The Hunger Games (YA dystopian)
- The Mortal Instruments (YA fantasy)
I read a lot of YA and fantasy. These were all great though. Especially The Wheel of Time since they have a man, Michael Kramer, do the male POVs and a woman, Kate reading, do the female POVs.
