Abridged version, but what was omitted is not easily discernible. Entertaining for a long drive (about 6 hours), but there are a few passages not suitable for younger years (my teen was vastly amused when I turned off the book at one point. The passage was far less than I anticipated, though there was an earlier section that would have had me blushing a bit if she had been in the car). The book is well-read, and it's not a bad way to pass the time.
