Narrator is terrible

The stories are ok. The narrator has a shrill voice and her accent makes her hard to understand. I will avoid books in the future narrated by her.

Hoped for better

I wish the title and author would have been used instead of chapter numbers also I think there could have been more effective narrators.

Very Disappointed

It was very hard to understand the narrator. Therefore, I did not enjoy the one story I got through.

Not able to listen to this one

I did not listen to enough of the sample before purchasing. What a silly mistake. The accent of the reader is very different from mine and I simply cannot understand the story because it is so distracting. Also, the accent is nothing like what the original authors would have sounded like, so this greatly detracts. Others may like this reader, but she did not work for me. I regret wasting a credit on it. I wish I could figure out how to delete the thing from my account because it will embarrass me every time I notice my silly mistake.

no good

can't understand most of what is being said and not interesting. not what I expected at all.

Narration was awful...

Narrator was monotone and hard to understand. At least it was only one credit in my free trial, although I really wish I still had that credit! $23 is way too much for this collection. PASS!

Great selection and well read

This is a great selection of stories by world class writers. I have been reading and listening to (and writing) short stories for 70+ years, and I was pleased to discover that many of the stories I had never come across before. I thought the readers did a fine job.
