Have you ever stopped listening to an audiobook because the tone of the narrator was so annoying? (sh.itjust.works)

I definitely noped out of a sci-fi audiobook (can't recall the title) a few minutes into one. And I hated the one Expanse book that was narrated by Erik Davis - it was like listening to a robot.

Yes. Yes, I have!

It's been a while, and I wish I could remember the title of the specific book I had this issue with so strongly that I moved to reading the e-book instead, but ... it escapes me right now, haha.

I have also used the speed function to slow down narrators before. I know most people probably adjust the speed up, to get through something faster, but when I'm listening for pleasure, I want to be able to revel in the author's writing, and don't want to be forced to rush through it. I very actively create a visual world in my head while reading and/or listening, and need time for those images to build!
