Bought Franken's audio CD?

Just wondering what you guys thought of Franken's audio CD?

Just as good, more entertaining than the book?

What were some of the audio features?

Strong points, weak points?

Thanks, just interested ...

1. I Did

I think that Franken reading the book added a lot. He does a dead-on Pat Robertson and his Barbara Bush is hilarious. (He nailed her.) He's pretty good at doing different voices, and so he can do a good job of acting out two characters talking to each other.

I don't have the book, but I heard that there are some visuals in it. These, of course, are absent in the audio book.

I got the unabridged edition from audible.com.

Seriously - that slow deliberate speech he uses with Stuart Smalley
