OK BUT

Struggled to finish, the reader voice was not altogether suited to these stories. The stories are OK but rather dated in a way that is unattractive today.

Irritating narration

I could not finish this due to the irritating narration. The inflection was confusing and prevented proper engagement with the narrative. I love the stories so this was a real disappointment.
