I got DH hooked on audiobooks and he could use some good recommendations.

 

So far, he has listening to HP, HG, The Maze Runner, Enders Game, Under the Dome, The Shining, The Stand, Salem's Lot, American Gods, World War Z, The Gunslinger etc

 

He likes more action. It's not really my genre so I would appreciate any good ideas.

 

Thanks

Re: I could use some recs for DH

  • I've heard "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand is awesome on audio book. A friend of mine and her husband listened to it on a cross-country road trip and she said every time they stopped her husband just wanted to get back in the car to listen!
  • Thanks. I put Doctor Sleep on hold for him.

     

    He prefers a male protagonist so he hasn't given Divergent a try. Maybe someday!

  • Tic Toc and Intensity by Dean Koontz
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • Ready Player One is so good.
  • Has he tried Game of Thrones?  My H is listening to them now.

    Does he play video games?  My H got hooked on audiobooks with an Assasin's Creed trilogy I downloaded from the library.  He tells me there's a Skyrim book he wants too.

    Other books H has listened to and enjoyed: Kingkiller Chronicles and Gangster Squad.

    Also check out The Spectacular Now I just finished reading it and thought my H might like it, although there's not much action.

  • Swan Song by Robert McCammon. 

    I also strongly second Ready Player One, especially if he was a teen or kid in the 80's.

  • Definitely Ready Player One!  It is amazing on audio.  I also listened to some of Dennis Lehane's Kenzie and Gennaro series on audio and they were great.

    MH didn't listen to Divergent, but he read it and Insurgent and really liked them.

    This. I haven't listened to the audiobook, but I read the paper book and it was amazing.

  • DH loves a series called Avery Cates by Jeff Somers, and also likes a lot of the Robert Ludlum books.
