Are there any instances of an audiobook being a better experience than reading the actual book?
>>
A lot of the autobiographical stuff that is narrated by the authors
And plenty are really well done

Yeah, when you add music to the audiobook. It's kino.

Darth Plagueis by James Luceno. The performance is pure kino and the sound effects are subtle but SOVLful, I heartily recommend it.

When the author reads it himself. I liked listening to The Stranger read by Camus.

I think first-person present tense narratives work really well for audiobooks. Really makes you feel like you are there with the character, listening to his thoughts.

World War Z

Stephen King because his books are bloated yet also easy to follow.
Sherlock Holmes because of Stephen Fry's voice acting skills.
Generally genre fiction, first person narrations, erotica read by sexy women (duh), and audioplays.
