A seasoned audiobook narrator, the English comedian\u2019s voice has captivated us through hours of mystery and intrigue.

Zauner digs as deep as her lyrics in her memoir about losing her mother, growing up as a Korean American, and forging her own identity through her heritage. Performed by the author herself, <em>Crying in H Mart\u2019s<\/em> words truly radiate throughout this audiobook as smoothly and dynamically as one of Zauner\u2019s songs. Providing an unflinching look at grief and complicated mother-daughter relationships, this intimate memoir is especially poignant when heard through the author\u2019s own voice. The experience brings a new layer of understanding and makes the listener feel closer to Zauner\u2019s already deeply personal story.<\/p>\n<h3>3. <em>The Dutch House<\/em> by Ann Patchett (performed by Tom Hanks)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_202069\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202069\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-202069 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-dutch-house.jpeg\" alt=\"best audiobooks of all time the dutch house\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-dutch-house.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-dutch-house-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-dutch-house-768x549.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-202069\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The critically acclaimed novel <i>The Dutch House<\/i> gets a spectacular audiobook treatment with the voice of Tom Hanks (Photography: Sonali Bendre Behl via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Ann Patchett\u2019s <em>The Dutch House<\/em> explores the unbreakable bond between two siblings. Navigating almost five decades of the lives of Danny and Maeve, the novel expands on how the two are unable to escape their past and the memories of their childhood home. This emotional book finds a perfect fit in the endearing voice of beloved actor, Tom Hanks. Hanks\u2019 narration keeps the listener captivated and lost in the world of Danny and Maeve while providing just the slightest hint of familiarity for those who grew up with his voice. <em>The Dutch House\u2019s<\/em> audiobook utilises its celebrity narrator wonderfully to create a way for the average reader to engage thoughtfully with a literary gem.<\/p>\n<h3>4. <em>The Goldfinch<\/em> by Donna Tartt (performed by David Pittu)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_202070\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202070\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-202070 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-goldfinch.jpg\" alt=\"best audiobooks of all time the goldfinch\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-goldfinch.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-goldfinch-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-goldfinch-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-202070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Viewers of the 2019 film adaptation of <i>The Goldfinch<\/i> should visit the audiobook for the full original story (Image: Warner Bros Pictures)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A coming-of-age odyssey that won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, <em>The Goldfinch<\/em> by Donna Tartt was polarising for critics yet nothing short of a phenomenon when it was first published. When a bomb goes off at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 13-year-old Theo\u2019s life is changed as his mother is killed and he takes <em>The Goldfinch<\/em> painting from the rubble in a panic. The dynamic events of the book are taken up a notch by the masterful performance choices by David Pittu. One of the best audiobooks of all time for a first-person narration novel, Pittu portrays the different stages of Theo\u2019s life from teen years to adulthood wonderfully. Viewers of the 2019 film adaptation who may not be fans of long reads should definitely turn to this audiobook to explore the full extent of Tartt\u2019s story. While <em>The Goldfinch<\/em> undoubtedly garners some passionate reviews, Pittu\u2019s audiobook remains an intriguing listen.<\/p>\n<h3>5. <em>The Hunger Games: Special Edition<\/em> by Suzanne Collins (performed by Tatiana Maslany)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_202071\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202071\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-202071 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-hunger-games.jpg\" alt=\"best audiobooks of all time the hunger games\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-hunger-games.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-hunger-games-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-hunger-games-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-202071\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The special-edition audiobook of <i>The Hunger Games<\/i> proves just as compelling as the 2012 film adaptation (Image: Lionsgate)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As an exceptionally popular Young Adult novel that spawned a series of successful films, it\u2019s no surprise that <em>The Hunger Games<\/em> by Suzanne Collins has received a special-edition audiobook treatment. In a post-apocalyptic future, all children aged 12 to18 in the nation of Panem must enter a lottery for participation in the notorious Hunger Games. When Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her sister\u2019s place, she\u2019s faced with having to survive in a televised fight to the death. Noted for its sharp political themes and detailed world-building, this novel found an audience far beyond its YA genre delegation. Emmy Award-winning actress, Tatiana Maslany, performs this special edition (which includes a bonus Q&amp;A with her) with great care. With excellent and distinct portrayals of a series of characters, Maslany breathes life into the story with her fresh take.<\/p>\n<h3>6. <em>World War Z: The Complete Edition<\/em> by Max Brooks (performed by a full cast)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_202072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202072\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-202072 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-world-war-z.jpg\" alt=\"best audiobooks of all time world war z\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-world-war-z.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-world-war-z-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-world-war-z-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-202072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">To coincide with the release of the 2013 loose film adaptation, <i>World War Z<\/i> got a special audiobook treatment with an all-star cast (Image: Paramount Pictures)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With the expansion of the audiobook genre and its increasing popularity, productions of full narrative sagas with extraordinary performers are being invested in.

In the aftermath of a world ravaged by the \u201cZombie War\u201d, the novel looks back into how the world dissolved into chaos and touches on the lives of survivors. Legendary names like Mark Hamill, Simon Pegg, and even Martin Scorsese join the author in an audiobook performance that adds realism to the unique landscape. One of the best audiobooks of all time featuring a multi-voice cast, the narrators come together to form a truly exceptional listening experience.<\/p>\n<h3>7. <em>Anna Karenina<\/em> by Leo Tolstoy (performed by Maggie Gyllenhaal)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_202073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202073\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-202073 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-anna-karenina.jpeg\" alt=\"best audiobooks of all time anna karenina\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-anna-karenina.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-anna-karenina-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-anna-karenina-768x549.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-202073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tolstoy\u2019s classic <i>Anna Karenina<\/i> is given new life with Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s audiobook performance (Photography: Uttara Book House via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fear not, classic literature lovers, because your favourite novels have most certainly got the audiobook treatment as well \u2013 often with multiple versions, too. Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s performance of Leo Tolstoy\u2019s <em>Anna Karenina<\/em> is our particular favourite in the realm of classical literature audiobooks. Focusing on a scandalous affair between Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky, the 800-page novel sees the couple fleeing to Italy before eventually returning to Russia. Feeling unsure about pursuing this long read? The beauty of audiobooks is that curious minds can now discover classic works in a more accessible way. Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s version of <em>Anna Karenina<\/em> is elevated by Gyllenhaal\u2019s own love of the novel, and her seamless narration never makes the length feel like a slog.<\/p>\n<h3>8. <em>Dracula<\/em> by Bram Stoker (performed by a full cast)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_202074\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202074\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-202074 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-dracula.jpg\" alt=\"best audiobooks of all time dracula\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-dracula.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-dracula-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/12\/audiobooks-dracula-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-202074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Audible audiobook of <i>Dracula<\/i> joins the vast number of excellent adaptations spanning film, TV, plays, video games, and more (Image: Universal Pictures)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The figure of Count Dracula has become so iconic and well-ingrained in the cultural zeitgeist that it may be hard to remember his \u201chumble\u201d beginnings as a character in Bram Stoker\u2019s seminal novel, <em>Dracula<\/em>, in 1897. Following the discovery that Count Dracula is a vampire, solicitor Jonathan Harker and a group led by Van Helsing begin to hunt down Dracula before he claims more victims. Noted for kickstarting the modern vampire legend, <em>Dracula<\/em> has had many adaptations since entering the public domain. The edition of <em>Dracula<\/em> by the audiobook and podcast platform, Audible, stands out to us due to its exceptional multi-voice cast that powerfully captures the book\u2019s chilling suspense. With the vocal talents of Alan Cumming, Tim Curry, and more, this gothic horror rises from the dead as the narrators strike the perfect pitch by going back to the basics of Stoker\u2019s novel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you an avid reader, or a frequenter of Hong Kong\u2019s bookstores and libraries?
