I've only listened to Goosebumps audiobooks just because one of my college friends got them for free from the library he worked at. We thought they were funny, and that was in large part to the awful voices. I don't know that I could listen to an audiobook for something serious, though. When I'm experiencing a good story for the first time, I like to give it my full attention. Just physically reading is the best way for me to immerse myself into the story.
