Title: Maybe abridged was a good choice
Review: Since The Bear and the Dragon was the first fiction audio cd I have listened to, I was worried that I wouldn't like an abridged story. It sounds like it was the better choice for this particular Clancy work though. From what other reviewers are saying, the hardcover was filled with repetitive minutaeu not really necessary to the storyline. I can't speak for the quality of the full hardcover novel, but as an abridged audio cd I thought The Bear and the Dragon was good, maybe even my second favorite Clancy story behind The Cardinal of the Kremlin.
