About this listen

"Youth" is a surprisingly complex short tale, with a deep core of thought-provoking reasoning. What is our motivation? Where is our growth? What do we consider valuable? These questions and more are brought to light in this story by Isaac Asimov. Youth is one of the rare Asimov stories with alien characters.

You spelled “Isaac” wrong on the cover. It’s not “Issac”. Should’ve checked this a bit more before downloading but this feels like a quick job without much care. The narration sounds slurred with obvious cuts. Not a pleasant experience. Gave up after a few minutes. Sorry!

Hard to follow. Slurred. Spelling mistake on cover.

I thought initially that this was going to be an account of Asimov own youth, not fiction, but it was a pleasant enough listen and worth keeping going to get to the ending

Interesting ending
