It was ok but I think they could of done a bit more of a story but overall it was a great story. My favourite bit was when he ran into his father’s arms it was so heart full.

It's abridged.

For an abridged version, it's quite good. The narrator's voice fits the text and it's enjoyable.

Better than I expected

It’s pretty good. BUT MARY IS SUCH A BRAT! And why did they (In the picture) make Mary Lennox white. I’m very disappointed with that. “I don’t want boys”? I was legit thinking (🏳️‍🌈and I support LGBTQIA+🏳️‍🌈) “Hmmm what if Mary Lennox was lesbian?” But anyway I felt like I was there in the blue, in the secret garden 🪴✨. That’s my review.
P.S. Martha is such a nice lady😩❤️✨

Needs to be clear that this is abridged

I assumed it was just the first chapter or two when I saw the time, but discovered after reading a review that it’s abridged. It’s still a nice story but Not what I thought it was.

Awful abridged copy

I was very sad to hear how this beautiful and classic children’s book had been absolutely butchered. I couldn’t listen to more than five minutes. I wish it had been made more clear that it were abridged (it should really say so in the recording!) because it makes me sad to think of all the people listening to it without realising.

I was excited to be listening to a classic but did not realised it was abridged...only an hour’s worth of listening.
