So I ordered the audio cd of Deception at the library and when it came I realized it was an abridged edition. I guess this doesn't really count as a Read in 2010, so I'll come up with a new tag for it, rather than go back and read the whole blasted thing. I've written about the Kellermans before, I'm definately a fan, but Jonathan is the one Kellerman that I think lends himself to abridgement! Deception is a fine example of this fact. I have often wondered why, if a book can be so easily abridged, and approved by the author, the author didn't just edit the freaking book to begin with and turn out a nice, tight book. This is another predictable-in a good way- Alex and Milo mystery. I'll keep reading them as long as he writes them, but next time when I get the abridgement, it won't be by accident.

Abridged is just fine
