Does anyone bother with them? I always feel a bit like I'm cheating by not reading an actual book, but sometimes an audio book is just so much more convenient.

I've just started a 9 "book" series called Slow Burn. It's a zombie apocalypse thing but reviews suggest it's excellent so thought I'd give it a try. Ideal for when I'm in the kitchen cooking / cleaning, or out walking the dog. So far, it seems decent.

I've also got I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan lined up.

I've listened to a few and they have all been absolutely shit apart from I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan. That is the absolute bollox. 10/10. Enjoy! Then close your account.

Most of the good ones are in English and I need to stay focused so much to catch all the words and follow the flow... after a hour I'm knackered. Not for me!
