project hail mary's audiobook is the best audiobook i've ever listened to. it's.... incredible. they adapted parts of the book that were kind of hard to "get" perfectly (and for people that read it, i think you know what i mean).

i totally recommend it.

Yea when they added that element I first assumed my Airpods were dying or Audible was broke. Really loved it in the end.

I listened to Audible, and that made me wonder how effective it would be in the book, or how it would be written in the book at all.

+1 for Audible.

Whoa. I didn't realize the audiobook was adapted.

I just kept thinking that the inner commenting was so weird. Like a the book was partially movie script. I think I should have read the book instead.

But still, it was good.

It absolutely is the best. Ray Porter’s way of narration opened a new, almost visual, dimension. Maybe it’s this very intimate „inner speech“ style, but to me this was a truly novel experience.
