My mom loaned us The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova on audio book. We needed something to listen to on our way back from Wisconsin in November. We finally finished the book on our way back from Iowa City on Friday night.
Now my take on audio books is that I would much rather read the book myself. I cannot stay awake during audio books no matter how much I love the story (Harry Potter for example).
This book is about a family's history in relationship to Dracula. There are several narrators during the book, which could have gotten very confusing in an audiobook, but luckily there were several different actors reading the different parts. This made it a little easier to keep track of time, location, narrator, etc.
In the story the presence of a mysterious Dragon book shows up to different characters at different times. The characters then tell of how they found the book and go on searches to find out more information about Dracula.
The book was interesting, but a little complicated in audiobook format for me since I fall asleep and miss some parts. I liked the story, but I think I would have liked it a lot better had I read it in book format and actually been able to spend more time picturing the characters.
