What makes audiobooks good? It seems pretty clear that some books are good audiobooks, others just are not. I don't think it's 100% content.
Cuff, it feels to me like some are read in a flat way — each sentence, perfectly pronounced, so that you can pause/resume at any point.

@starsandrobots convinced it's 85%+ narrator. I'll listen to almost anything by a few great narrators, but not some fav books by bad ones. -
@wendyck ooh! do you have/keep a list of these narrators? -
@starsandrobots Grover Gardner & Wil Wheaton are always good. Also past winners of Audie Solo Narration awards, ie: http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/2015/05/media/audio/2015-audie-award-winners-announced/ …
