Agree! The narrator was fantastic, but I did miss the full cast like they had for Graceling. Did you listen to it? I highly recommend!

I’ve never listened to an audio book so I don’t have a fave but I’ve been wanting to try one out to see what they are like.

They are awesome! I’m excited that you’re interested in giving them a try. My best source for audiobooks is the library. They’re free, and if you don’t like a particular narrator you can just take it back and pick a new one!

My favourite narrator of audio books is Nathaniel Parker, best known for narrating the Artemis Fowl series, though I’ve listened to several others he’s done. I’d listen to anything he narrated, given that it wasn’t abridged.

I really liked the Harry Potter narrator.

I am still pretty new to Audiobooks. I love Jim Dale who does Harry Potter and The Night Circus. I have seen videos of him reading Harry Potter on Youtube and I was amazed!
I’m only just starting to get into audiobooks, but I’ve heard the Blood Red Road narrator does an amazing job!

I haven’t listened to a lot of audiobooks, but I love The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty. It’s great as just a book, but the audiobook really bring the characters the life hilariously.
Jim Dale is the obvious choice for favorite narrator. No one can beat him (and his voice is even more amazing in person!)
But more recently, I enjoyed Starters by Lissa Price on audio. I don’t know who narrated, but they did a really good job.

I really love Katherine Kellgren in the Bloody Jack books. She’s made them so much more enjoyable, and the books are already awesome.

Well, there’s SOOO many to choose from. I have and love all of SVM’s by Charlaine Harris Narrator Johanna Parker is fabulous!!
All of the Night Huntress Novels by Jeaniene Frost narrator Tavia Gilbert is fabulous! All of the BDB by JR Ward narrator Jim Frangione is fantastic!! And so many more than I can list. I just adore audio-books. Thanks for the chance to win!
I only listened to a few audiobooks..so i guess any of the HP ones or Hunger Games was pretty good:)

I haven’t listened to many audio’s but I did get to listen to Summer Rental and I loved it!
I am new to the audio world so I am not really sure. I have heard My Blood Approves and I liked it.

Illusions written and read by Frank Perrelli…simply beautiful 🙂
That is a really tough question! My favorite audiobook to date is still Jay Asher’s Thirteen Reasons Why. The format of the book suited the narration so well, and the duel narrators made me feel like I was really listening to those cassette tapes. My favorite narrator is a tough one, I do love Jim Dale–I think he could read the phone book and make it sound good.

I really enjoyed Dearly Departed Audio Book
Lunatics by Dave Barry & Alan Zweibel (narratored by the authors – whose names I probably mispelled) was hilarious to listen to.
Ricki recently posted..Stacking the Shelves: 6/3-6/9
Hands down, Harry Potter and Jim Dale! They’re such amazing audiobooks. I could listen to them nonstop.

the Harry Potter series is the only one I’ve listened to.

I really enjoyed The False Prince audio book
I absolutley LOVED The Inheritence Cycle by Christopher Paolini which was read by Gerard Doyle. He (Doyle) was absolutely amazing! I also really like The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare but wish they had found and kept one reader for all of the books. Of course, the Harry Potter series on audio is incredible, as is The Chronicles of Narnia. I just love audiobooks!

I’m listening to my 1st audio book right now, Tempest by Julie Cross. I like it but I listen when I go to bed so I keep falling asleep. lol Thanks for the great giveaway. It’s very generous.
Awesome giveaway!
My favorite narrator so far: Neil Gaiman.
He has this way of making you feel like he’s reading you a scary story by the campfire.
I haven’t listened to an audio book since I was in elementary school. I am anxious to get a hold of one and dive back in
I love how Sissy Spacek read To Kill a Mockingbird on audiobook!
I would have to say that my favorite Audiobook besides the Harry Potter series would be The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I love the audiobook simply because I love the book, and the narrator does a wonderful job!
My favorite audio book to date is Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine. It is narrated by Eden Riegel. I love it!
:).

My favorite audio so far is Graceling. It was already one of my favorite books, and I loved the full-cast reading!

I haven’t listened to many audiobooks, but Stanley Tucci is an awesome narrator.
I love Lorelei King, Phil Gigante, Therese Plummer, Johanna Parker, Tavia Gilbert, CJ Critt.. just to name a few ;o) Thanks!

I haven’t listened to many audiobooks but who ever did Thumper’s voice on Bambi was adorable!
I admittedly don’t listen to many audiobooks, but I LOVED listening to Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess) narrate her own memoir, Let’s Pretened This Never Happened!
I LOVE audiobooks! One of my favorite narrators of all times is Tim Curry – he does most of the Series of Unfortunate Events audiobooks so it’s my favorite series with my favorite narrator. His voices are hilarious!
Love audiobooks! I am most looking forward to Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness.
Fire by Kristin Cashore!! LOVE cast audiobooks! 🙂
