King Plum the Nth posted:What makes or breaks an audiobook for me is less the book but the performance. Fueled by my recent infatuation by the Dexter books, I tried to listen to them as audibooks but found I couldn't because they aren't read by Michael C. Hall. I am opposed to abridgments but my own new recommendation is, actually and abridgment. Just bumping this thread because I've been really getting into audiobooks recently and I agree with this 100%. Whether or not I listen to an audiobook often depends on who the reader is and whether there is anything noteworthy about their reading. I would kill  to hear Michael C. Hall read Dexter, because it would be a great 'bridge' between the books and the series.On that note, I'm currently really enjoying Brideshead Revisited as read by Jeremy Irons. I don't know how many here are at all interested in Evelyn Waugh's books, but Irons' performance was one of the (many) things I loved about the original 1981 miniseries...and it's also quite funny to hear him doing Anthony Blanche's lines.
