The 'Explore' feature has introduced me to authors I might never have discovered otherwise. ListenBook has turned my everyday moments into extraordinary journeys of imagination. I love the ability to share my progress with friends. It’s a fun feature. A functional audiobook production that met basic requirements. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable. It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though.
