Four SciFi Classics in a Bargain Bundle

The four(4) stories are classics and most readers are probably already familiar with them. When compared to contemporary fiction at the time they were written, they are at the top of the genre; when compared to modern sci-fi they may show their age a bit (most of them use sparse dialog in favor of a 1st person PoV narrator … which makes it fairly easy to turn them into audiobooks, but also means they come across fairly dry like a diary or news report). Still, there are elements in each that helped to define the genre to this day and are well worth the read. The narration was decent, but with the limited dialog, there was little need to display any range for multiple character voices … so I can’t really justify rating it above average, but I thought it fit each story style fairly well.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A Sober Science Fiction Collection Classics!!

I read Frankenstein and Time Machine (in Spanish) a very long time ago. I loved both books
They are ones of my favorites.

By the way, I had War of Worlds and Stevenson's on my reading list, but I hadn't had chance to read it. Now I've got the four novels in a audiobook, and it was really nice experience. I enjoyed all of them in the original language.

Sober literature and great narration!
