I spend over an hour in the car everyday, driving to and from work. A few months ago, I got sick of listening to the same songs and the same stupid talk radio shows, and decided to try some audiobooks. I had tried them a few years ago, when I was driving from Western Mass to Long Island every week for training for a job, but the amount of concentration required to drive through the amount of traffic I had to deal with was just too much, and 5 minutes would go by before I realized I hadn't heard anything the reader was saying. Now I am lucky to have a very easy commute (rural Vermont is nice that way), and audiobooks are a perfect solution to my boredom. Thankfully my local library has a pretty good selection, so they are all free!Charley's Web is an ok story; probably not a book I would've picked up, but a decent listen. 3.5 stars.
Other Audiobooks I have enjoyed over the past few months:
Amazingly read, moving, excellent story. 5 stars
Light, "beach read". Didn't make me want to punch myself in the face, but wasn't really anything special. 2 stars
Not a waste of time, but not an amazing literary classic either. Kind of suspenseful, and very frustrating at some points. 3 stars
Another book that I never would have read on my own, since Frey's writing style is so odd. An easy listen though, even though there was all the controversy about how a lot of the info was made up. Whatever. 4 stars
