8th Best Audiobook of 2020!

I really enjoyed this collection - 4*

I first started this collection in August 2019 when I'd just finished the mammoth 72 hours of [b:Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Audio Collection|34429916|Sherlock Holmes The Definitive Audio Collection|Arthur Conan Doyle|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1488293263l/34429916._SX50_.jpg|55535767]. This is much smaller than that at approximately 27 hours. I still needed a break from this when term first started in autumn but that had nothing to do with the audiobook and more with workload.

I've updated each book individually with the review so I won't be going into specific plot details here. However, this audiobook will always remind me when I was listening to the [b:The War of the Worlds|8909|The War of the Worlds|H.G. Wells|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320391644l/8909._SY75_.jpg|3194841] on the way to Newcastle, I went day drinking and anyway came home and I had one of the most vivid dreams of my life. War of the Worlds meets London meets me as an action hero. Yeah wild.

Anyway, I enjoyed the wide range of narrators. My favourite was obviously David Tennant but each narrator fit for the book weirdly. Audible did really well on their narration audiobook.
