Abridged version sucks

If you could sum up Atlantis Found in three words, what would they be?

all-time Favorite book

Any additional comments?

you should always offer every book in an unabridged version and let the customer decide on which version to buy. Also what the heck is going on with discontinuing older books from this author if my device fails and i lose the book now there is no way to download it again, is audible willing to reimburse for those titles that were previously purchased but now are not available anymore, I don't think so

too short

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I'm sorry I need the whole story, where can I find the unabridged version.

Would you ever listen to anything by Clive Cussler again?

yes the unabridged ones

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Atlantis Found?

Very Poor Abridgment

What disappointed you about Atlantis Found?

I realize that abridging a Clive Cussler novel is difficult. The books are long with many interweaving plots and characters. However, I have listened to a few abridgments of Cussler novels and been satisfied with the abridging. This abridgement of Atlantis Found was incredibly poor. It is very difficult and frustrating to follow. Whomever chose the text to include in this abridgment did a very poor job. I would not recommend this abridgment.

Need unabridged version.

Well done but can tell it's abridged. To many things happen to fast without the great detail Cussler provides. Shame full version is not available.

Abridged Version Poorly edited

The Abridged version is poorly edited. Much of the story is lost with out the missing edits.

It is a shame that it was abridged

when I was much younger I read this book and so much enjoyed it. I thought I would listen to it this time and was sad to see all there was was a bridged versions. there was so much of this book cut out. that I would say it was only okay to listen to

Dirk Pitt strikes again!

At this point Dirk Pitt, the main character of Cussler's books, is getting a little long in the tooth but it is fun to fall into his world of adventure and suspend belief for an afternoon.

Is there an Atlantis? Only Dirk could find it, probably by diving all by himself and holding his breath the whole time! He reminds me of the guys from the old movies whose hats never fell off while fighting. Hey but who cares? The story is fun, regular characters in full force and once again the world is safe!

I think you will like Atlantis Found,

Any additional comments?

I found this Clive Cussler book shorter than ones I normally listen to, so it went very quickly for me, BUT - This was a fast book very entertaining and would be great for a day car trip for vacation,

Good story...bad performance

One of the worst readers I’ve experienced on Audible. Slow, no energy, inflection points timed inappropriately - just to name a few.
