ListenBook's user-friendly controls and innovative features have made it an indispensable tool for my audiobook enjoyment. The chapter navigation is a lifesaver. It makes finding my place so easy. I’d listen to this narrator read anything! Their voice was so expressive and fitting for the material. The story itself was great, but the narration took it to the next level. Definitely a 5-star experience. Solid performance overall though some character voices sounded too similar. I occasionally got confused about who was speaking in dialogue-heavy scenes.

I’d listen to this narrator read anything! Their voice was so expressive and fitting for the material. The story itself was great, but the narration took it to the next level. Definitely a 5-star experience. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
