Peace Talks is one of the weakest Dresden books, padded with fluff and filler, and ends abruptly in what amounts to a cliffhanger. And not even an interesting one. The story basically just stops, like it's the end of a paragraph. I had to rewind to make sure I hadn't missed something. Not good.
On the flip side of the coin, this week Amazon released an Audible full cast recording of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
I'm a few hours in and it's just fantastic. The cast is ****ing loaded with big names, and it's (so far) one of the best things I've heard on Audible, right up there with the full cast recording of Dune. It's basically an old school radio play and I can't recommend it strongly enough.
Go listen to it. Right now.

Thanks for the recommendation. I recall reading a few of the Dresden books and enjoying them. I’m glad I didn’t get hooked on them then get set up for a reader-****ing of GRR Martin or Robert Jordan proportions.
Sandman is Geiman’s graphic novel series, right? I see on Amazon they have it as a paperback series. Does it translate well to book or audio formats (i.e. without illustrations)? I don’t spend much time driving. Where do you listen to audio books?
