☻Nikki☻ (nikkic1998) | 480 comments The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society I absolutely adored this book. It had multiple narrators which helped keep the characters straight. I fell in love with Juliet and all the rest of the Guernsey folk. I can't rave about this one enough. (Have to thank Jennifer for recommending this one to me)

Poonam | 35 comments I recommend The Help. There are multiple narrators that make it easier to keep track of the characters and each narrator really embodies the character they are playing. The book in itself is excellent and the audiobook seems to do it real justice. I downloaded it from Audible.

Multiple narrators always take me out of the book. I don't know why that it but it's always the case. I much more enjoy a really good narrator that can change his voice to fit each character.

I purchased this book from Audible & have heard great things about it but haven't gotten the chance to listen to it yet. I hope to soon.

Michael...I've listened to a couple of books with multiple narrators but I enjoy them. I prefer that to a narrator who tries to change his/her voice but can't quite accomplish it. One of my favorite series had a female narrator. Her female characters were well done & even one of the males sounded pretty good too. Unfortunately, her voice for the lead male sounded like an elderly woman & it totally ruined the book for me. I had, thankfully, physically read the series first, so it didn't mess the books up for me. I agree though, that when done well, one narrator can make a book outstanding.

I loved this book on audio. It was exceptionally well done!! Infact, I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I had been reading it.

I love the multiple voices in The Help. This was one of my all time favorite audio books. I felt like I was watching it all play out on a big screen (before the movie came out that is!) It doesn't detract at all from the story, it makes perfect sense. Each voice is a different perspective and chapter so it doesn't get confusing. I recommend.
