The narration makes it a hard listen. Some of the stories are just okay, they certainly aren’t the greatest….

With 50’stories in this collection the least that should have been done is included the title of the story and the respective authors. By no stretch of imagination are these ‘chapters’ and it becomes very difficult especially in an audiobook to come back to a story you’ve read and to another one you may want to read. Becomes a laborious process.
