Good story, okay sound?

Would you consider the audio edition of Horrid Henry's Krazy Ketchup to be better than the print version?

Unfortunately, although the story itself is good, I found that the sound dynamics were not quite as good as expected. Sometimes, the sound effects were too loud, louder than the reader, and the voice wasn't quite loud enough. I found myself stuck between one level of sound and the next, as at times it was too quiet and at others too loud.
