In the last few years I've gained an appreciation for audiobooks. Though I must admit that the first series of books I listen to were all non-fiction self-help type books. Recently discovered a fictional book that captivated my attention. In the matter of a week I finished all six books in the series. I discovered that an audiobook can be better than any movie, especially if the writer is skilled in words. As I was listening through the series I kept thinking this is so much better than the movie. Though I have not watched a movie on the series, my mind was constantly filled with the different images that were saved from having listened to the audiobook. Unfortunately I reach book 6 and there were no more books to devour. So for a week I found myself dreaming of different scenarios inspired by the book. The Power of Words to paint images is absolutely wonderful. This is a nice post thanks for sharing. :)
you are very welcome. I have experienced what you are talking about and It really can be great for sure. I think the way a writer can tell he is doing a great job is if the sentence is easy to picture in the mind. Sometimes I get lost in the big words some people use and can't follow everything. Like books about high level mathematics. Have you ever read a book that became a movie and then decided that what you were picturing in your head before the movie was better then the actual movie?
