Alison (a1ison74) | 2826 comments Going on holiday and was thinking about getting an audio book for the flight (can't read while travelling). I've never really had an audio book before so could do with some recommendations. I like YA, fantasy, chick lit and crime but will give pretty much anything a try.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The Help is supposed to be awesome on audio.
