Very misleading!

The picture looks like the book cover. The print that says it is a summary is small & difficult to see. The fact that it cost 1 credit is ridiculous for what it is. I am very disappointed.

Deceptive title - this is a summary, not the book.

What disappointed you about A Man Called Ove: A Novel by Fredrik Backman?

There is no info on the photo or the title to indicate this is not the full book. It says unabridged on the cover art - of course it is unabridged because it is not a book. All of the info was misleading.

Very misleading to write ‘summary’ in dark letters

This is purely a summary of the book and it is very misleading to put it up for sale! Who wants only a summary,

Worthless "Critique"

Would you try another book from Leopard Books and/or Mark Woods?

The narrator's rendition is awful - automated text is better. There was no critique of the book, no discussion of the salient points, no review of underlying interest --- no "nothing!"
Save your money or your points. It simply is not worth it in my opinion.
