Is this the general impression? Because I absolutely disagree. I think
the audiobooks for TR and J R are fantastic. I love the way Nick
Sullivan does the voices and the way he handles the denser bits of TR.

Then again, I have listened to very few audiobooks so have little to
compare. To say they were the best I have heard would be true, but
also exaggerated, as I have listened to maybe one other one.

Still...

Plus: they're unabridged. Which is amazing.
