Awful

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Because I knew most of the stories in this anthology, I didn't listen to the audible sample of the narration. That is my fault.

I have stopped listening 1.5 hrs into the book. The narrator draws the last word of each sentence out to the point I can no longer listen.

I have never had to write a review like this one. If I am the only reader that has an issue with this recording, my apologies.

Many of my favorite short stories are on this list, so this is disappointing.

Listen To The Narration Sample Before Purchasing.

The reader has a sing-song style, and there is no variety in character’s voices. Great stories, presented in a manner that makes it difficult to listen.
