This is not the full story.

They only do excerptsfrom the book. I was hoping to hear the entire book. I wish the description explained that better.

Zero stars was not a choice

I was looking for the book. Didn't realize that wasn't what I was getting until I saw 1.36 hours. Waste of 3 clicks, never mind the $4.

This is NOT the story ...

If you are expecting the story don't buy this...it's not the story. It's a discussion of the story. Very disappointed.

Misleading

The sample leads the listener to believe this is the actual book. It is not clear that it is only commentary.

NOT the actual book!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

If you want discussion from other authors...

Would you ever listen to anything by Symphony Space again?

NO

Would you be willing to try another one of the narrators’s performances?

Maybe

What character would you cut from Thalia Book Club: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird 50th Anniversary Celebration?

It is not the book, does not have characters

Any additional comments?

It should be clearly stated in the description that the actual audio book track is not included, only excerpts as read by the panel!!!

This isn't the book! Don't be fooled!

I thought I was buying the full text. Read the summary area carefully before buying.

I thought this was the book.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

no one.

Has Thalia Book Club: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird 50th Anniversary Celebration turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes.

How could the performance have been better?

Could have been much clearer that this was NOT the audiobook of To Kill a Mockingbird. This is one book that is IMPOSSIBLE to find online. Audible, PLEASE LOOK INTO OBTAINING IT!!!!

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No.

Any additional comments?

AUDIBLE, PLEASE FIND/MAKE AVAILABLE AN AUDIO OF TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD!
