Books are the weakest storytelling medium because they rely on the reader's imagination, which is vague, fallible, and inferior to a presented sound or image in getting the intended message across. The books rely on a writer's ability to transfer ideas and actions not meant to be constrained by a textual medium into exactly that.

Audiobooks are a step up because the voice actors are capable of giving the proper emotion and inflection to the dialogue, and sets a mood for the descriptive portions, as well. Even though narration does not necessarily have an emotion, it still holds the advantage of setting tone for the dialogue, which will.
