And The Law wasn't what I expected, but I really enjoyed it. I got it through Audible and listened at work. Jim Butcher narrates it. He did a good job, I think.
I have the kindle version, so I decided to try out the audio as well, but had had no time yet.
Just the beginning. It feels like a guy eager to present his work, but told to talk more slowly, so that it doesn't sound hectic or too enthusiastic.
Does that get better?
I liked his Marcone voice in Even Hand. That WAS Jim Butcher's voice, wasn't it? Sometimes I wasn't sure, because he sounded so cold just like I imagined Marcone. Very cool.
I will listen to it once I'm through with my reread.
@Dina:
Not even audio books, when the narrator is reading extra slowly. It's not like they talk in the movies or - worse - in interviews. Usually it is very clear pronunciation.
But I admit, I mostly listen to English audio books only after I have read them.
Except Codex Alera. I wasn't able to read past the boring beginning, so I forced myself to listen. It is read by Kate Reading, and she does an incredible job.
Also James Marsters' voice is Harry's voice in my head. After reading the books I imagined Harry's voice deeper, but once I listened to Marsters, I found him perfect.
Whereas the guy reading Peter Grant in Rivers of London didn't fit in my opinion. But there I only tried out one book.
I prefer reading, but sometimes it is practical to listen, too. Especially when I have things to do, but want to know how the story continues right away.
