ListenBook has transformed my listening habits, making them more engaging and enjoyable. ListenBook has transformed the way I engage with literature. It's like having a virtual bookshelf in my pocket. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narratorβs voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldnβt necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre. Decent audiobook but I think I would have enjoyed reading it more. Some of the more subtle humor didn't quite land in the audio format.
