for at least liking the 2nd half so getting through it wasn't total torture.

The absent one by Jussi Aller Olsen. I hated that book.

Just gave up on the audiobook of The Hound of The Baskervilles by Sir Arthor Conan Doyle. I was almost halfway through, but I just wasn't invested in the story at all. I think it would've been better if I had been reading a physical copy, but still I was not enjoying. Since there are 200 books on my TBR (), I've decided life is too short to finish books I don't give a **** about

Oh my! I never read that one but I know it's a classic so this makes me scared of reading it myself.

What happened to make you not invested?

I never read that either but what a shame that you didn't enjoy it since it is a classic.

Stephen Fry narrates all of the Sherlock books on audible. I wonder if he gives it some oomph.

A good narrator makes all the difference.

Truly.

Ever have a book you love in print but the audio version bores you?

I can't think of one.

There has been books I was interested in reading but then heard the narrator and thought I'd go look for a print book instead.
