Others have given great suggestions for good narrators but I just want to add that audiobooks work best for me when I'm doing something else to keep busy. I have a job that doesn't require much brain power or interacting with people so I can use earbuds at work and that's my favorite time to listen to audiobooks, I got through the three body problem in 2 days and over the last 2 days I've gotten 3/4 of the way through the second book. I've also gone through the whole series of The Expanse on audiobook as well.
Give em a shot when you're doing tedious chores or out for a walk, or at work if you have a job that allows it. I've heard of others that like listening to audiobooks while driving but I've never done that. I've tried listening to audiobooks without doing anything else and my mind wanders to much, and if I try to read along with a book in my hands then I tend to read to fast to keep up with the narration and it just ends up being a distraction.
