I read the book of this and got the ebook at the same time, from the library. It's helpful to have both. I then listened to the audiobook, about six months after reading it. It's awesome. I've read Gemina, which is just as amazing as Illuminae, and I'm going to listen to the audiobook sometime before March when Obsidio comes out. This series rocks. I totally used audible credits for the audio's and I don't regret it, not one bit.

Yeah it does. I really couldn't get into when I tried to just read it, but once I got the audio I just couldn't stop reading or listening to it!!!!!! I am going to wait to listen and read along with it, until clo9to the release of Obsidio. And then I will relisten to Illumiane once again!!!!!!
