I have listened to full cast books but have found that I actually prefer the single reader. I'm not sure why. I just finished The Naked Sun read by William Dufris from Penguin Random House Publishing Group. I think these novels from the 50's lend themselves quite well to an audiobook format. I have started Have Space Suit - Will Travel read by Mark Turetsky up next.


I listened to Have Space Suit - Will Travel in a full cast audio a couple of months ago. Everyone had the the appropriate "gee whiz" kind of delivery suited to the feel of the book. It was the math that I had a hard time with...the lots and lots of math. I know that Heinlein had an ax to grind about education in the US (as seen by a few of the rants of Kip's father in the book) but it at times seemed like it was a textbook instead of a juvenile science fiction romp, lol.
