Listened to the abridged version of the audiobook. didn't care for the music, but i liked the effect on the "voice" in max's head. Narrator did ok, with her regular voice sounded good. From the other reviews, I'm glad I read the 4h abridged version. Unfortunately, some parts don't flow very well, and all of the battles with the erasers are somewhat confusing. They keep getting caught, but the erasers don't really wanna keep them? Weird.
