Abridged Audiobook
New to audiobooks. This is my second book so far (trying to really encompass classic literature). A lot of lessons learned. 1) abridged vs unabridged. I was excited that this book was only 3-4 hours long. Well now I know. It's a abridged version of the audio and a lot of story was not told. When I was on Wikipedia reading the debated "themes" of this book. There was reference that I hadn't heard while listening. 2) Audio stories where the characters have extended Russian names was difficult to follow. I had to relisten to certain parts over and over again. 3) A British accented narrator didn't help with the Russian names. It was like a perfect storm. The story was great though. I was a little frustrated with the main characters willingness to convict himself of murder due to paranoia and his conscious. Might be that I'm a desensitized millennial but it was frustrating to hear. I'd listen to the unabridged version if you have the time.
