Overall, this was fine for those already familiar with the audiobook experience as a whole, but does pose some unique quirks that might dissuade some from trying it. The previously mentioned chapters pose one issue. Another concerns the language of the book. There are quite a few lines in Spanish that never receive a translation, so unless you're fluent or just unbothered (like I am), you might prefer a text version if you want to run any quick Google Translates. So unless you use audiobooks as your only/preferred option, maybe use a text version in tandem or instead of for this story.
