My Thoughts:
I'm not even sure whether or not to count this as a book read for this year. Technically, it's really just ear candy for audio book lovers who have claimed the words "I could listen to such and such narrator read anything!" And so I guess Audible decided to take them up on that challenge.
I am only familiar with three narrators on this list and am only slightly disappointed that some of my other favorite narrators were not included. :P
It's a hilarious idea for April Fool's Day, I'll give them that. And fortunately it's only $0.00 at Audible right now. I don't know if this is just for today or if they'll keep the book up for some time, but I just sat through 13 minutes of this audio book without really listening, though I have now learned what a 'blunderbuss' is, even if I'm still not sure I really know.
The narration is quite hilarious in that I had no idea you could put so much emotion behind the encyclopedia's definition of 'cheese'.
