As we all know who does the reading of an audio book matters a great deal. A good reader can enhance the book tremendously. A bad reader can ruin the book. I was reminded of this today when I decided to read a memoir that came recommended to me in an audio version. Big mistake. The reader read the book in a flat bored tone and here is the thing, the reader is the author of the memoir.
@singlemaltgirl That's true because audio reading requires acting skills and a writer may have written a very fine book. That doesn't mean they are the right person to read it.
