But when she finds a mysterious book, Molly discovers an extraordinary talent, she can hypnotize anyone! Accompanied by Petula the pug, Molly hypnotizes her way to New York and Broadway stardom. But hot on her trail is the sinister professor, who is determined to use Molly to stage the crime of the century.

Production flaws?

What disappointed you about Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism?

My first two children loved this book and now that my 3rd child is reading it, she could use some help with "reading along" so I downloaded the audiobook for her to listen to while reading the book.
This complaint is not about the book or the narrator but about the production.
* Why is there completely unrelated loud music covering up the over the voice over in the beginning of each new chapter?
* There are minutes (!) long breaks between chapters, making you wonder if the recording has stopped - yet you can't fast forward to the next chapter, bringing me to my next and most frustrating point:
* The book is divided in sections, each section containing several chapters. You can only forward between sections, not between chapters.

At first I imagined it was my iphone that was glitching, but after downloading on different devices and experiencing the same, I gave up on the audio version. Don't recommend.

Good for young readers (<10)

Reader has a very "british" accent which generally works well for this book and, despite some revolting descriptions (which the kids found funny), its a fun story

A Must Read for the Times

I loved the plot and how it integrated the hypnosis power into the plot and characters.

just as good as i remembered

I read this book as a kid and remembered it fondly, along with its next two installments. I'm pleased to say, as a 24 year old with high standards, it still holds up for what it is.

Some complaints about production quality: there is at least 30 seconds silence between chapters sometimes. I'm not impatient, but that's quite a long time for a listening child.

The story was great and the reader excellent. There were times of dead air up to 20 seconds or more between chapters.
