Fran Goldsmith hatred: Book vs. Audiobook
As one of my favorite books of all time, I reread the Stand once every year or two. But in my old age, I only do audiobooks anymore to save my poor old eyes.
One thing I've noticed in my rereads is that my hatred for Frannie has increased exponentially over the years. But I've also noticed in the past few years that Grover Gardener's voice acting for Fran gives her a prissy, priggish, shrewish tone that makes my skin crawl.
That makes me wonder how much my loathing for her is based on the actual writing and character and how much is just Grover's voicing of her.
I'm curious if most of the Frannie haters here are also audiobook readers or if she's just as grating and annoying in print.
ETA: I am a feminist woman lest anyone mistakenly think my distaste for her is coming from a place of misogyny.
