@melissamonteee, I couldn't wait to check it out so I got it despite the reviews. Honestly, it's not a big deal to me at all. The reviews were making it sound unlistenable, but it doesn't really bother me at all. I mean, I mean if I repeat two words, you still understand what I said right? :) Regarding entertainment vs. boredom: I did find it hard to follow at first, but I think the more you consider the magnitude of these letters, the more you can allow yourself to get sucked in. Personally, I prefer reading the letters because it's voiceless. But audiobooks are way more convenient for me.
