Just no.īut that pales in comparison to how obnoxious the plugs in the middle of this book are. Do they really think I just payed a premium price to hear that the book I know and love is 'brought to me by Audible'? No. ADS! It's hard to describe the degree to which I hate whoever decided that adding a plug for Audible at the beginning of the book was a good idea.
I cannot believe that this, the official audiobook on iTunes/iBooks sanctioned by Rowling herself, that costs almost $50, has ads. Horrified at the thoughtlessness with which this audiobook was published. That being said, this audio product is a disgrace to the format. I was thrilled when I found out I could finally get a proper digital copy. I've listened to the cassette version more times than I can count. The only thing better than reading it is listening to the stunning performance by Jim Dale. Wonderful audiobook ruined by ads and lazinessįirst and foremost: I absolutely love this book.
