They were audiobooky. People read the books and I listened.

I see I see...


now tell me this: is it a single narrator who also reads the characters words or is there a larger cast?

do they read the book word for word or is it adapted like a screenplay?

Generally it's the same person doing all the reading. They'll often put on somewhat different voices for each character but the text is read word for word.

Depends on the audiobook though. Some are better at it than others.

Sometimes it's pretty awful but it can be pretty good too. Makes it really easy to follow along when it's done well.

edit: to clarify an earlier question

unabridged = word for word, usually one reader
dramatized = adapted like a screenplay, unabridged is usually better

It’s the fifth anniversary of COTA’s first F1 race, and they want to ensure it’s the biggest event ever out there. Epstein said:

This year, we plan to host the biggest concert in Austin history. By combining the greatest annual global sports event with the number one performing artist in the world, Taylor Swift, we are creating the ultimate destination event.

Even though the leafs have the "best odds" of winning the draft lottery, I just ran it, and they end up with the fourth overall pick.
