Disappointed… but only in Audible

I was three hours in before I realised the story was moving much quicker than expected- it wasn’t obvious that this was an abridged version! I loved hearing Harris’s narration and the voices he gave to his characters, as well as his specific intonation on his excellent descriptions… but then it was over so quickly because there were 9 chapters missing! I didn’t realise it was worth a whole credit- Audible should make it much more obvious that this isn’t the whole original version because I feel quite cheated now.

Favourite

I have loved reading this since I was 15, but hearing it being read and by the author almost makes you see the story in a whole new way. Love it

Note this is not the full book

This is an abridged version of the story so while good it misses some of the character development and scene setting delivered in the book

best audio book ever! Harris is sublime

Harris is sublime and conveys his desired styles for the voices of the characters, revealing so much about their identities.

What a ripoff. Full price for less than half a boo

Don't waste your money or credit buying this version. More than half of the full storyline is missing and you only get the highlights. Save your money and buy the actual book or DVD.
