I love this app. Good selection of titles. Would have earned five stars except it doesn't automatically pause when someone calls me. If I answer the call the book is still playing I'm talking to the person. Otherwise this is a wonderful app!

It is so easy to use. The price for a credit is really reasonable .

With a busy schedule, it's sometimes hard to find time to sit and read the books I want to read. With audiobooks I'm able to fit more books in. I listen while I'm driving, going for a walk or a run, biking, waiting in lineups at the bank or the stores. For the first time in a very long time I've been able to enjoy my favourite authors more often again. The app is incredibly easy to work with on my phone. When I receive a verbal recommendation from someone else about an author or a book, it's just a few simple key strokes and I can have a copy myself. Saves me time waiting for the book to come in the mail or having to find time during the library or bookstore's hours to visit them for a hard copy. I still pick up the hard copy version of my favourites but at least I no longer have to wait for that first savouring bite. The only thing that I would change is that some of the readers are absolutely extraordinary and I almost wish I could have them read ALL of my favourite books (or at least put in a recommendation for them to)

Over the past two years I have been commuting more than 30k miles each year. Audiobooks is a great way to pass that time. I listen to Audiobooks while I am driving, as I go to sleep (timer feature is awesome!), on airplanes and at the airport, and anywhere I want to be alone. Additionally, there is no shortage of titles to choose from. I probably go through up to 3 books per month. I have listened to self-help, business development, novels, blockbusters, and entire collections of authors. In addition to getting to know the authors' styles, you actually start to appreciate the readers, too. I sometimes select books based on who is reading them. There are some incredibly talented readers out there that can weave the novel with multiple voices depicting distinctly different characters. Some of my favorite authors I have listened to are Gillian Flynn (all three novels), Stephen King (probably listened to 8 of his works), and Malcolm Gladwell (all of his books). Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this product, and would recommend it to anyone.

I love audiobooks! It is a wonderful application! I can listen to bookswhen I do anything! The selection is amazing and I have some favorite readers now too! I never tire of this app and having a great book in progress at all times. My only suggestion would be a more robust search feature and perhaps saving search criteria.

This fictionalization of a true life story is read by the author. Thus the audiobook version contains all the proper nuances suggested by the words. As a result the story is a truly astounding account of a childhood lived with two dysfunctional though often well intended parents. Though the father is loving and colourful his perceptions and family decisions are addled by his increasing alcoholism. An adventurer by nature and a dreamer as well he takes his family on adventures that are often ill advised and even dangerous to the children. The mothers narcissism behaviours render the children U mothered as they are left on their own to fend for themselves as best they can through blatant poverty and neglect. The author tells the story straight as it happens. She offers few opinions or editorial comments on the situations the family becomes involved in. It is left to the reader/listener to make judgements on the parents' decisions and attitudes towards the children. This is a must read for anyone who is interested in family dynamics - especially those of a highly unusual American family. At the end it is the love and camaraderie that the children develop towards each other that is so very heartwarming. Glass Castles by Jeanette Wald

I have had nothing but a positive experience audiobooks.com. Anytime I have had to contact customer service they have responded quickly and made the experience personal. I believe they actually take an interest in their customers preferences and suggestions and strive to make our experience the best they can. I love the christmas giveaway contests and actually won last year. Overall I am beyond happy with the value and quality of audiobooks.com!!!!

I enjoy audiobooks most of the time except on occasions the book will stop playing. I have found the only way to get around this issue is to delete the book and then re download it. I love the fact I can listen to my books on in my car.

My eyesight is not like it used to be so I found audiobooks! There are so many titles to choose from including almost all of the best sellers! I can cook dinner, do laundry, drive to work all while listening to my books! Give it a try - you'll be addicted too!!

I love this book club. I listen to books on my phone with the app. I can listen anywhere, cleaning house, shopping, driving in the car. The website is easy to use. You can find the books you want, save in your library for later, or download to your device. Very convenient. I do like how the company also offers free credits and free books. I still enjoy real books, but when on the go and driving, this app comes in handy. I think everyone should at least give it a try.

I am happy that I found Audiobooks. I am a voracious reader and just didn't have the time to read as much as I would like. Now I can 'read' all my books and actually get something done at the same time. The selection is pretty good. I wish that the series that are selections had the entire series rather than just 3/4 or so. Oh, well, that really is my only problem with them. I had a problem one time, my fault and customer service was wonderful. I wish that I had known that any more than 10 books was pricey. I just go back and 'read' some of my favorites.

This service is easy to use, affordable and allows me to listen on all my devices. My whole family uses it, and it's great! Also, the service has tons of titles, and always gets new releases as soon as they are out! I love to search functions-- author, title, etc. and, if I'm not sure what I want to listen to, it makes wonderful suggestions based on what book titles I previously have read. I would recommend this audio books service to anyone looking for an easy and inexpensive way to listen to books, when you are too busy to sit down and read one. This is one of my favorite apps, carrying many genres including non-fiction and fiction like drama, horror, romance, science fiction, the classics, titles for children and young adults--you name it, and this Web site has it. And, it's all at the touch of your fingers. You can listen anywhere and anytime you are in the mood for a great book. Again, I would recommend this to anyone!

Predictable but a fun read. Narrator does a great job. A little bit of mystery and a little bit of crime drama. It appears to be a book in a series although not sure. Can't tell the era it was written. Short enough that you don't get bored but long enough not to seem trivial. There were lots of moving plot lines and mainly deals with the upper crust of society. Overall worth a read or listen to.

I love to read, but never take the time, and when I do, I rarely finish my books for months. I joined Audiobooks to expand my 'reading time' to include commuting, filing, and folding laundry. What a Godsend! I decided to tackle a book beyond my reading time capabilty; Goldfinch is a HUGE time commitment to read. I was SO impressed by the narrators abilities with the numerous, varied voices and accents. I so loved the drama of it all, it was like being at the movies each time I listened! I must admit, I was sad to have it end. But the experience cemented my 'addiction' to audiobooks. Fabulous experience!
