Does anyone else ever wonder if the 'unabridged' version is actually so? I had this experience with Dune recently where I found that indeed the 'unabridged' version had very small snippets deleted.
That didn't matter too much, but sometimes I see unabridged versions on Audible whose length seems too short to encompass the page count and I wonder, especially if after sampling it the narrator doesn't speak especially fast.
For instance, does anyone have an opinion on this 'unabridged' version of Mary Poppins:

It's less than four hours yet the book is around 200 pages. I suppose children's books go by faster but still it seems short, especially considering this 'abridged' versions (albeit in another language, but still) is 3 1/2 hours long:

And considering more adult books, I find the same thing sometimes, especially when there's a few choices and different unabridged versions can have very different lengths and it makes one wonder at the shorter one.
