Not all books should be recorded

Where the Wild Things Are – a book I have never read consists of only ten sentences – yet it is the second most popular audiobook in the iTunes Music Store.

Who purchases a ten-sentence audiobook, even if it’s only 95 cents?

According to the product description, the recording is six minutes long.  Six minutes to read ten sentences?  I must purchase the audiobook to determine what is happening during this recording.

As if to highlight the lunacy of a ten-sentence audiobook, iTunes labels the book as Unabridged.

No kidding.
