Helpful Score: 5
An interesting story, but not well suited for audio. The book and the narration jump around in timelines, and it can be hard to follow, even if you've read the book. I do like the series, and have read the other books, but when you abridge this partular book, you lose a lot of continuity and story line, since it was sparse to begin with.

Not terrible, but very disjointed. Jumps in time/plots that are hard to follow. It was ok for me since I was only listening as part of my commute. If I was reading the actual book, don't think I would bother to finish it. (At the end it says it is an abridged version, maybe parts that would have made it seem more coherent (like other subplots, etc) - might have been removed). I say that since I noticed that once with a book that I had read, then later on heard the abridged.
