Actually, you can't usually finish a book quicker than you can read an audiobook. Most people read far more quickly in their head than an actor reads aloud.
It depends what you want to get out of a book. If you want to study the story and analyse the language carefully, then of course, you need to read it. If you just want to be entertained and enjoy a good story, or you want to do other things at the same time, then an audiobook is fine.
I would completely disagree with the idiot who said 'audiobooks are for lazy people'. No, they are not. They are principally for people who want to be told a story while they are doing other things. They're to pass the time while you're driving, to listen to in bed while you're falling asleep, to listen to on a long train journey where reading might make you feel sick, to relax, or to listen to while you're doing some boring physical task. I read a lot. I also listen to a lot of audiobooks - I listen to them while I'm walking to work, since I can't read a book while I'm walking along the street; I listen to them when I've got a long and boring job to do around the house, like clearing out a room or cooking a meal or ironing or painting a wall; I listen to them while I'm doing some other creative hobby like drawing or crafts, and I sometimes listen to them at night when I can't sleep because I suffer from insomnia. None of those things have anything to do with laziness.
