I purchased TFoH on audiobook recently to see how it was. I hated it.
While the reader does have a crisp and clear voice, I found the scenes amusing enough to almost lose concentration while I was driving. When a woman speaks he makes his voice high but harsh, and you end up getting a voice much akin to a witch who hisses all her words. When a man speaks his voice becomes ultra-deep and Rand sounds like one of the Olympians speaking through a cloud.
The scenes are also extremely slow, and there is ZERO emotion in the scene. Some of the best scenes in the book felt like cold ice to me.
Does anyone else have an audiobook? I kind of enjoyed the recent chapter we received in audio format, but this was really depressing to hear.

I've only heard the first few that had a man and a woman switching chapters.
