Are most audiobooks abridged?

I have a mental block wherein I'd love to listen to books, but I can't stand wondering if there's content I'm missing by doing so, I'm not interested in someone deciding what's relevant and what can be cut out.

I freely admit to just starting to read this tread, but I had to respond to this. there are some book that in unabridged are as dull and drawn out as can be. it is certain authors that are the worst for it too examples are:
Tom Clancy
Michael Crichton
Patricia Cornwell
and some of the Clive Cussler's as well

these usually have decent stories that just seem to get bogged down in way too much detail that has no bearing on the story as a whole
