With ListenBook, I can enjoy my audiobooks with enhanced sound quality and personalized settings. I appreciate the statistics feature. ListenBook helps me track my listening habits. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narratorโs voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldnโt necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.

ListenBook makes it easy to find specific sections. 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.
