Weirdly Abridged

The abridgement sucks, it's missing a lot of... Character, a lot of the flavour that the full paper version has.

Chapter breaks are very abrupt, almost cut off.

Such a sad way to treat a good story!

I love this tale but it is so sad to listen to this very badly done shortening of the story. If I had not read the original earlier I doubt I would had been able to understand it. Indeed a very bad job done!

Abridging terrible...!!!

The abridging meant she didn't have to search very far....!!! Really disjointed.... Disapointing. Its a shame they didn't feel the need to give a full copy of the book - was looking forward to listening, real shame.
