[artemis fowl] I had a free audible apparently? So I got the first book and... I don't like the readers voice.

It's not bad

His voice would be nice for other books, can't think of what off the top of my head

but I expected something a little... idk, smoother?

That's disappointing. The wrong narrator can decrease the enjoyment of the audiobook

I use this library app to check out a lot of them for when I'm in the car- and I have had to abandon some because I didn't get into the voice. (It that case I just check out the ebook version instead)
