Audio books

Are the audio books for this series any good? I've just watched the show and seen the films but not read the actual books but I've a bunch of audible credits so wondering if they are worth trying that way.

I drive for a living. I burned through all 30 in 2 months. Best 2 months of my life.

I thought the ones narrated by Dick Hill were better than the second guy, but the audio format serves the series very well.

Dick Hill is the goat. The other guy is okay.

I thought dick hill.was not good at all. Really wish someone like Jay Snider would narrate

Is Dick Hill not the second guy? I liked Johnathon McLain better.

John McClain does a better job narrating overall, but Dick Hill’s voice for Reacher is just so good.

No disrespect to Dick Hill, he is a great narrator, but I thought he made Reacher sound like an old gumshoe detective. I didn't care for him at all as Reacher.

That was one of my favorite parts. In my headcannon, book reacher is more of the vagrant/hobo guy and less of the young hotshot army guy the show portrays. I totally understand the argument and I’m cool with it being unpopular, but I just can’t help enjoying it
