Agree with the audiobook rec on phm - and I absolutely hate audiobooks. I only did this book on audio by fluke but I'm so glad I did

I’ve only listened to the audiobook, and can’t imagine how the paper book describes a certain aspect of how a certain character communicates. It’s absolutely primed for audiobook.

For real. I listened to the audiobook in 2 sittings (driving across the country) and couldn't imagine how the character talks in the book. I recently picked up a physical copy and flipped to one of his chapters and was kinda disappointed to be honest, but it was still about as expected

In order to cure your audiobook phobia I would like to recommend any Terry Pratchett audiobook read by Stephen Briggs. That guy is an absolute treasure.

Unfortunately my biggest problem with audiobooks is my raging ADHD which trumps even the most well done audiobooks - second is I hate when men do women voices lol
