I just listened to "Master and Commander" by Patrick O'Brian narrated by John Lee. Runner up would be Richard Poe doing The Ha-Ha by Dave King - the protagonist, Howard, cannot speak (or read or write, though he understands speech), so it's truly an experience being inside his head hearing a narrator in this case! My cousin read the print book, and loved it, but I don't think that would be nearly as good. He got the Tourette's outbursts letter perfect. I've read an awful lot of British audiobooks, but don't think I've heard Simon Prebble read anything yet.Īs I've posted elsewhere, my vote for #1 audiobook performance goes to Frank Muller reading Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem.

And, yes, I do agree the Peabody series was brilliant. She does a terrific job however, the voice she uses for the protagoniste's lover sound suspiciously akin to that of Barbara Rosenblat's for Amelia Peabody's husband (Emerson). I've just started The Painted Veil by Somerset Maugham, read by Kate Reading. Here comes the Contrarian - I dislike Lizzette Lecat's reading of the Ramotswe series! I'm a great admirer of Donada Peters (a/k/a Nadia May) for anything except Agatha Raisin. I love listening to audiobooks (as it vastly increases the amount of my life I can spend "reading"), but I can't listen to something if I don't like the reader, or if the reader just doesn't sound right to me. I guess what I am getting at is different readers are just right for different books. I think he is much better as the voice of Lord Peter than the face-a little too stout in my opinion. He, of course, played Lord Peter in one of the bbc series. I also love Ian Carmichael reading Dorothy L. I just listened to the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix read by Tim Curry, and I thought he was very good, although my friend says she doesn't like his voice doing the Lemony Snicket books. If you have an mp3 player, you should definitely check whether your local library subscribes to NetLibrary! It really doesn't get better than Barbara doing Schmidt singing country-western songs in Night Train to Memphis.

I think that it helped that I could download almost all of the Amelia Peabody books for free from NetLibrary. Then, a year or so later I tried it again, and she rather grew on me. The first time I tried to listen to the Amelia Peabody books read by Barbara Rosenblat, I didn't like her voice.
