One time, maybe 15 years ago, I had to download a new release from Audible. It might even have been the author reading it. I was aching-all-over to read this book. Snowstorm, nearest copy some 400 km away: so, downloaded it. 9/10 do not recommend. I've been an avid reader for decades; I hated listening to it! (Flinx Transcendent by Alan Dean Foster, for the interested. I got a pb copy a few months later)

Why you didn't liked it? That's interesting since you were hyped and all.

I thought the person reading it read way too slowly! (🐌 go faster!) Plus, when you're reading yourself, you make up certain ways to pronounce words in your head. The person reading was pronouncing the uncommon words differently than I did. One good thing, I learned how to pronounce "ennui"; I was pronouncing it "En-you-eye" it's pronounced "on-wee". 🤷🏻♀️

Is just way more intimate to read and you fill the blank spaces with your own imagination. Just, more in control.
