Michael York was a fun narrator and although I did enjoy the story overall I definitely felt like this was missing large chunks of the novel. But I had fun.

I love this novel but unfortunately it is not available on Kindle in the UK so I bought this.
Hearing this, I would rather have it on Kindle.
While the omissions from the printed version are small, I know the book well enough that I noticed them and found it jarring, spoiling my enjoyment.
For those of you old enough (or young and cool enough) to have experience of vinyl records, it was like listening to a scratched record jump.
It would not have added much time to have recorded this novel as it was actually written and it would have been better, as some were quite poignant.
I notice someone else is complaining about the cuts on the review section - I'm glad it's not just me. I just wish I'd read their review before I bought it...

If you are not familiar with the book, you probably won't notice.
