I thought Game of Thrones was supposed to be really good.
I quickly found out it's not my kind of book. I am sure people who love epic fantasies will love it... I just now know that I am not interested in it.
great books can make terrible audio books. My general rule is the more characters, the worse the audio version. There are also narrators who just aren't very good
Pretty much! Either that or find one that has multiple voice actors.
Hyperion by Dan Simmons is a great example of how multiple voice actors can overcome the "too many characters" problem with audiobooks, it having 5 narrators.
