Book Review of Outlander (Outlander, Bk 1) (Abridged Audio Cassette)

Outlander (Outlander, Bk 1) (Abridged Audio Cassette)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 4


The entire Outlander series is absolutely fantastic. However, the audiobook leaves much to be desired. It is severly abridged; there is only 23% of the book on tape! I was at the Decatur Book Festival (Decatur, Georgia) and was able to listen to the author talk about her works. She said herself that the abridged version shortchanges one enormously, and that the unabridged edition is something like 45 discs in all. If you want to get an idea of what the whole thing is about, try the abridged edtion; if you are left hankering for more of the story and don't have time to sit and read, get the unabridged. It is well worth the listen!
