I don't imagine criticism of the abridged version to be anything other than that they didn't include the critics favourite story in it. Maybe some ideas aren't as well explained in the short amount of time but that's the nature of making something short.
I agree, halfway through that and don't see anything wrong with it. (though I guess criticism would have to come from people who have read the unabridged version)
Solzhenitsyn wholeheartedly endorsed the abridged edition, especially useful for teaching in America.
Abridged version seems like the best option.
