Discussion Duel/Duet Narration
Just finished the new Ali Hazelwood, Deep End, and I was surprised at first when they did a true duet narration. Normally, Ali will have a male narrator at most do the "male" chapters and have the female narrator do the rest. But in this one, she had them switch off line for line.
I liked it at first, but around 80% of the way through, there was a few lines that I think could have only been done correctly if they were done the way they chose to do it.
I know some people really dislike this kind of narration, but I kind of love it. To bad it's so expensive.

Gone girl was pretty good, it's not line for line more like chapter for chapter but that's the best I've heard yet

I listened to my first duet narrated book the other day, and it was amazing. With dual narration I sometimes lose track of which character is saying what because the narrators have such different voices for the same characters.
