Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Danny Devito should narrate more audio books.

Very enjoyable, better than The One and Only Ivan.
Bob did a good job telling the story from a dogs perspective.

Danny DeVito makes this book shine, loved it!!

I read the One and Only Ivan on my Kindle then listened to the One and Only Bob on audible. OMG, Danny DeVito knocked this out of the ballpark. I don't know who wouldn't love this book. I am a 64 year old Grandma and I spent almost 4 hours in pure pleasure. Highly recommend...

A Very Good For Young People

This is a nice book I bought off Audibles Daily Deal. I enjoyed it though I would've probably enjoyed it more when I was younger. The story flows nicely and the characters are very likeable.

Highly recommended grade school adventure

I really liked this story even as an adult, but I mostly thought how excellent is would be to share this story with grandchildren someday. If I end up reading it, I doubt I can do anywhere near as well as Danny DeVito who was awesome.
