About Sarah's list
I read relatively fast, so any audiobook has to offer something extra special, given that it requires so much more time. That secret sauce is a narrator whose delivery illuminates the book, or a group of narrators who transform the book into more of a play. Here are five listens that bring an extra something to the physical book and which I race to listen to at any opportunity. —Sarah Vaughan, author of Based on a True Story.-
