Disappointingly short - Great Content ( just not enough)

I am a big fan of their book series. the books are already "very short", to cut off a good 90% off in the audiobooks make it more of a very short introduction to a very short introduction. I do enjoy the content that is here, I just wish they actually took the term audiobook and made the books into audiobook, not whatever this is.
