<HTML>I agree that Amazon.com can be a bit dodgy in the things they recommend. They're trying so hard to build their partnerships that they're forgetting the customer. I've almost completely stopped looking at the "You might also like" section because they're so completely off the mark! (probably also way off because I've purchased so many gifts for others on Amazon, that it's messed up my own preferences LOL)
I had to go through and read a bunch of those reviews. And since I was logged in because I was voting on many of them, I didn't get to see my own, but I know it's there...towards the end. And yes, it's under A-A-C. However, I felt compelled to leave another review for the audio (CD) version.
I wasn't terribly thrilled with the audio version. Elizabeth Sastre is a bit too dry for my taste and the humor doesn't come through very well. I guess it just reads so much better in my mind. Plus the abridgement leaves off the chapter headings, which I feel, are absolutely necessary and really help explain the story (not to mention make me need to invest in my bladder control items).
All that said, though, I will probably buy the LIAGB version anyway. Mostly so my ever-resistant husband will actually get to know the story a little so he understands what I'm rambling about. Besides, I HAVE to own a copy of every version! (I don't have the Aussie versions yet and the Canadian paperbacks seem to be the same as the UK versions that I gave to my sister)
You know, I'm beginning to see why my husband just shakes his head when he sees me playing on the Fforum! LOL</HTML>
