Be warned: Apparently, this RosettaBooks Kindle edition of TDOTT has been butchered, although it claims to be unabridged. Just a warning. I would assume Penguin would produce an intact edition. Anybody know anything about this?

Mark Lambert I found this explanation; apparently the US version is missing about 12% of the book?

Andrew M Napper The current (as of January 8, 2019) Kindle version contains all of the missing passages mentioned on the https://triffids.guidesite.co.uk/vers... website. Amazon's website lists a September 1, 2018 publication date (ASIN: B07H17ZWG8) so perhaps the missing text has been restored.
Gary Fisher Can you cite specifics? I hadn't read the book since my school days but the Kindle edition flowed well and didn't have the inexplicable shifts usually found in abridgments. It would be a shame for readers to avoid this edition on the basis of unfounded speculation.
Susan Thanks for the heads up - I was just going to order this but saw your message first!
Paul Downs Apparently? It sounds like you've not read it.
