Profile Image for Michelle Jensen

it was ... ok

Would you try another book from Agatha Christie and/or the narrator?

it was far too abrupt to be truly enjoyable. It also is virtually impossible to follow the smaller details of the story which make it possible to come up with your own ideas of ... who done it.

Has The Gates of Baghdad (Dramatised) turned you off from other books in this genre?

nope

Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrator?

depends on the story

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Gates of Baghdad (Dramatised)?

not sure, I would actually slow things down and take a bit more time to really tell the story.
