In my opinion, this is a way to get more out of a book than if you had read it off the page. For example, I listened to "A Mighty Heart," the story of Daniel Pearl as read by the author, Mariane Pearl. She lived the tragedy, and you could hear in her voice the exact emotions in each scene. It was very powerful, and much better than if I had read the book and inserted my own emotions.
