inaudible narration

I am trying to listen to Little Women. I can't hear it even with the volume turned to maximum levels. This is the second recordibg in a row that has been this way. it destroys the story!

Happy to have had a go at reading this but not worth the problems.

However, it did not download properly and really messed up my Audible app. Now I’m faced with trying to get it off my phone 😱

P.S.: could have done without the philosophy piece. Also overall, in many of the stories, there were many mispronunciations. Many!

Always delightful

It's always a delight to hear these old stories again. They don't write tales like these anymore.

What happened?!

I was on Chapter 288. A GK Chesterton story with 15 minutes to go when it switched over to some woman reading poetry!

Over 100 hours of listening for 66 cents

A handful of the stories are boring but most of them are fantastic. Many of the stories are so good but they're worth listening to multiple times. Countless hours of entertainment for nearly nothing. What more needs to be said?

Wow!

I can’t believe some of the negative reviews I saw. It was nearly free for amazing literature. I will admit I had to fast forward through the Odyssey because the narrator droned so but every thing else was good to excellent. I really didn’t care for the Father Brown stories so much but that is just personal taste. A few books here that I likely would have never selected on my own but thoroughly enjoyed.
For $0.66. Deal of the century!

Needs labels!

Though I’m still early on (just finished Little Women) this looks to be a fantastic collection.

Problem is there are no chapter labels and so with 120something hours and hundreds of chapters it is very easy to get lost. I recommend a pencil and pad to help keep track, especially if you are one such as I who have a tendency to fall asleep while listening.

The readers are bleh.

I have rarely ever bought an audio book #1. #2 I buy for the reader's inflection and tone, and ability to bring life to the book. If I could get my credit back, I would. I've tried to listen to the first 5 stories and they are awful listens.
