Good one Davem!

Listened to it up until the Trolls are turned into stone last night and it was great (with the possible exception of the reading of the songs). The text being abridged only adds to the experience imo. The way it follows the story-line without interruptions gives you the impression that Nicol is telling you a story and it brings events to life more than a straight reading of the book.
