This app has reignited my passion for reading, and I'm forever grateful. The app's recommendations are surprisingly accurate – it's like they know my taste perfectly! ListenBook's basic audio filters allow me to fine-tune the audio playback to suit my preferences. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable.
