I think I'd prefer to read this rather than audiobook it as I struggled to keep up with some of the names and places. Loved the story though and it's well narrated.

What an eye opener. Loved every bit of this and I'm only disappointed that I didn't read it sooner. Not only is the book a perfect dystopian that I urge anyone to read, but Bradbury's afterword is essential too.
