I purchased this just after reading the one review on audible and the explanation of what it was about. I was excited because I like all sorts of stories. I was disappointed right away because I found I couldn't return the book, I didn't like the male narrators voice. For me, I cannot tolerate any of the stories that he reads. I found the stories too, a disappointment. They seem like half ideas that never really came to anything or end abruptly.
