The God Delusion wins audio award
17.12.07 Tom Tivnan
The God Delusion has been voted Audible.co.uk's Audiobook of the Year by the download site's customers. Richard Dawkins's atheist manifesto garnered just over 3,000 votes, seeing off competition from a shortlist that included Ian Rankin's The Naming of the Dead, Alan Bennett's The Uncommon Reader and Andrew Marr's A History of Modern Britain.
Narrated by Dawkins and his wife Lalla Ward, the Audible exclusive unabridged audio version of The God Delusion has been in the site's Top 10 since it was released in late 2006. Audible said its listeners enjoyed the two-reader format as it brought to life the book's complex ideas.
Audible will present awards to Dawkins, Ward and publisher Random House on 18th December in Oxford.
