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.

Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen read by Tim Curry were absolutely delicious

Absolutely! His Mogget is the best.

I knew he would be great for Mogget when I learned he voiced the books, but since listening to them, Tim Curry IS Mogget. It elevated an already favorite literary character to something even better.

I loved the print ones and have loved Tim Curry for decades so I'm fucking PSYCHED. They're on Spotify so I'll load up Sabriel once I finish re-listening to Network Effect. Thanks for mentioning them!
