"Does have too many background noises"
The voices and background noises do make this book hard to listen to. Didn't learn as much as I was hoping to. I wish I hadn't wasted my money.
"pics"
It was a great book, but it would have been better to have the illustrations/photographs in front of me. This is why I have it 3 stars as an overall rating. Had nothing to do with the book or narrator.
"Abreviated book"
I found large portions of this book "abridged". I would not get this audio book, but read the whole book instead. The cost is about same same, and worth it.
