General
What is an unabridged audio book?
An unabridged audio book is the complete retelling of a book word-for-word with nothing left out.
What is an abridged audio book?
An abridged audio book is a condensed retelling of a book with some less important parts left out. Abridged versions of books will be shorter in length than unabridged versions.
Do all audio books come in abridged and unabridged versions?
No. Popular audio books will usually come in both formats, abridged and unabridged. Very popular audio books will even have multiple books in each format, usually read by different narrators. Less popular books may only come in one format or the other.
What is a dramatized audio book?
A dramatized audio book is the retelling of a book in the format much like a play. Instead of one narrator there are multiple actors playing different characters in the story.
