Just curious what everyone thinks on this subject.
I personally USED to be of the mind that if you were not reading the book yourself you were not reading the book. Then I bought “I am Legend” from Audible and listened to it… I LOVED it.
The way then reader emphasized the emotions of Neville, especially his obsession with the woman, gave me a much different perspective then whenI read the book myself.
Now, I am listening to Ender’s Game, and again… WOW… the readers… multiple this time, are really making the story. The way the male reader imitates the boys who harass Ender just really gives you a sense of the irritation that Ender must feel.
So, I am curious what everyone else thinks about the reading versus listening.
Discuss.
