Featured Article: Hit the Open Highway with the 40+ Best Road Trip Listens for Your Next Journey


It takes more than great storytelling to be the right fit for each type of road trip. What works for a cross-country adventure may not be quite right for a quick day trip. What you listen to with your significant other may not be (read: is definitely not) the same as what you listen to with a carload of kids. And when driving solo, sometimes what you want is a little company. No matter what kind of journey you have coming up, we’ve got you covered.

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.
