Narrator's voice oye!
What would have made Fifty Fantastic Tales better?
The narrator had only one inflection in her cadence. It was grating. The narrator needs to develope a greater range of voices and tempo.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I can not bear to continue listening. I wish I had a hard copy to read.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Great stories..
