I picked up the audiobook on Hoopla, it's free with certain library memberships. I also saw the ebook on Libby.

Having read the Kindle version of this book already, I wish I had noticed this sooner. For this book, I believe the audiobook would be fantastic.

This audiobook is a revelation! I already owned the physical book, but the narrator's performance is so captivating it's like experiencing the story for the first time. It's a whole new level of immersion, and a refreshing change from silent reading. I'm finding myself completely engrossed and enjoying the story even more than before.

have been engrossed with this audiobook that I am thoroughly enjoying, even though I already own a physical copy of the very same book. The voice of the narrator and the experience of listening to the story have added a whole new dimension to the book that I didn't expect. It's a pleasant change from reading the book traditionally, and I'm finding myself more immersed in the story than ever before.

God bless whoever came with audible idea. Best way of getting the knowledge you need while you do other things.

Thanks for the helpful links. I've never listened to an entire audiobook before. I guess I'm just used to reading books on a page. I have the feeling that I will lose track of what's going on and that I will have to listen to certain parts multiple times for retention. However, I did listen to the sample of this audiobook, and so far, I like it! The male narrator has a fatherly-sounding voice, and he reads the lines like a patient teacher.

I have a question about reviewing audiobooks though. How would you be able to check for spelling or punctuation errors if you aren't looking at the text?

I had difficulty obtaining a hardcover copy of this book from Barnes & Noble, so I'm delighted that it will soon be accessible in audiobook format, providing a convenient alternative.

Sometimes when I find that I am not especially motivated to read a book even though it sounds interesting, an audiobook is the perfect thing! It takes far less concentration than reading an actual book, so I think this is great.

Nothing better than an audio book. You'll just listen all day while doing your normal routine. And it's even better because ifs free.
