Book-a-book of the Month Club discussion

Well, I created this thread last week while I had a bad connection and just realized it never posted! *sigh*

I'm actually done with the book. :) BUT I listened to it and I was too far in before I realized it was the abridged version. :(

As for first impressions, I did find myself not wanting to leave the car so I could listen to more of it. Lol!

Ugh, I hate when I find out it is abridged after it is too late. (Happened to me with Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West)

I will get the other threads up soon so that we can discuss more!

Why do they even make abridged forms? That seems silly to me. Have you ever met a person who preferred those??

Usually I cannot imagine what could be left out!

Well that's what I wonder. Exactly, what would you take out? Unless you have a verbose author who spends a lot of time on the landscape description or something, lol! I don't know what sections you would remove.
