What’s with the music????

I love Scott Turow’s books and have heard or read all of them I think. This book was a great story, the narrator was fabulous. But oh my goodness, the music in the background made me crazy!!! I like to hear the book only, don’t care for music all the way through. If I want music I’ll play a CD. Didn’t like that aspect of it at all.

Music and Advertisement for ear phones

I am enjoying the story very much. However, the constant music being played in the background is very distracting. While I have heard other music in other books, it has been less and just a few places. This book has too much. And, when did Audible decide to add a short ad at the beginning of the book/books? Using Audible is the perfect way to enjoy a book and should not include an advertisement nor so much music that is just like static on a radio. Please review these objections and see if there is a way to change recording so that there is only limited or no music and no advertisements. We are not watching a movie so the music is not an added enjoyment and I listen to a lot of books. Thank you for your consideration of my complaints.

Wasted 20 hours of my life!

I love this author and so kept waiting for the book to turn into.... something! The plot was pitiful, no real story to speak of. It could have been done in 2 hours. Don’t waste your time!

good story, adequate performance

I enjoyed the story, although it was a little slow at points. the performance was a bit unenthusiastic and I could have done without the overdone constant background music.
