Ranking audiobooks

Some PD works like Charles Dickens have many audiobook versions available. What happens when there are 100s of narrators to choose from for a particular work, how does one learn about what is available, or rate which narrators are best? LT has a Common Knowledge feature to list narrators, this is a good start, though I think WorldCat is more complete. Still there doesn't exist a way to discuss distinct versions of an audiobook or rank them as an audiobook.

You could start a thread in this group to do just that.

We love analysis and comparisons.

may be a good starting point for your research ~ it includes an A-Z list (divided into 5 sections) of the best-of-the-best narrators.

Amazon unhelpfully mashes all reviews together for a 'work' -- mixing audios with paperbooks and mixing all readers together.

Martin Jarvis
Simon Vance
George Guidall
are among my favorites

IF they ever get the promised Edition layer built, this will be a moot point, you'd be able to separate.
But we're well past the "two weeks" of that promise.

Not sure what the Editions Layer does exactly but that sounds promising anyway.

Sometimes the narrator and their approach to the material makes a world of difference. I kept searching till I found the correct reader of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Still searching for the right treatment of Pilgrim’s Progress.
