I agree with other comment that voice sounds computerised which spoilt it,I couldn't get past first episode because the voice was annoying, if it was a real person then so sorry !

Good stories that are spoilt by poor reading. Constant repeating of words and sentences.

I just can't listen to this. Some of my favourite authors and stories, but I am sorry, I am sure the narrators are quite brilliant with modern text and dialogue, but here the intonation, the dead pan delivery, the pauses in the wrong places and the lack of (or misplaced) emotion in the voices absolutely murdered the stories. I didn't feel that the readers were enjoying themselves and they gave little evidence that they were following the plots as they spoke... making it difficult to listen to... Very disappointed, was looking forwards to listening to this...

Atrocious.
No apparent editing, with some lines read 2 or 3 times by the reader. With the use of words like "negros", "darkies" etc scattered throughout, this makes for an uneasy read. I really fail to see why we are still being offered drivel like this by Audible, when there's so many superior collections of short stories that could have been offered instead.

Well I’m only on the first story, and because of quite possibly the worst narration ever, I’m having to give up! I have no idea what’s going on with the storyline as there’s so many repeated lines, I am utterly lost. Do not bother with this until it gets looked at by an editor and fixed!!!!

Needs some serious editing!!!
