After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can’t focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I’m thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else.

What are your suggestions for other audiobooks with great or at least similar narration as this new version of The Silmarillion?

    the narrator make a big difference to me too. While I haven’t listened to this narrator in particular, I really enjoyed these productions lately on audible

    Dune - has multiple voice actors

    Star Wars: Heir To The Empire - happens after the orig trilogy, really good voice actor and also has some sound effects

    The wheel of time: Eye of the world - Michael Kramer narrated really well here.

    To Sleep in a Sea of Stars - Story itself was really captivating. Narrator Jennifer Hale was also fantastic
