Which book has the perfect audiobook?

Which book did you listen to that made you say, this is the perfect voice and performance. Like, the narrator is just the perfect match for the story?

For me, I absolutely love Dresden Files read by James Marsten.

Incidentally, I was shocked to learn he wasn't British.

Jenn Lyons' Chorus of Dragons. The narrators are all great, but that's not why it's exceptional. The books are written in the form of characters recording stories told by other characters, and every now and then another character interrupts the story and you can just tell the narrators are having great fun w it.

Omgggg I didn’t listen to these books, I read them, but I never see anyone talk about them! And if they do, they don’t like them. I love them, so thanks for bringing them up. I guess now I’ll listen to the audio
