Very poor experience. this is not a review of the book as I wasn't actually able to listen to it.

I couldn't listen did you the tinny irritating piano music

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
For some unknown reason the producer decided that what this brilliant story needed was a tinny classical music track to run alongside the narration. I found this music unnecessary, distracting and highly irritating. Spoiled this classic piece of groundbreaking literature for me.

Awful background music
