Reviews

I give 5 ⭐ because these readers gave their time. 👍
Not my favourite collection of stories or readers.
DET
the reader of Mex shouldn't read.
Test Test
the reader clearly isn't a native english speaker. it's unbearably awful. this isn't worth your time even if it is free. the stories all sucked. the reader of "putnam" smacks his lips so much it's awful. never read aloud again. the reader of "some words with a mummy did a good job tho.
Another one
Cedartree
Plenty of good ones, although if you are OCD/systematic like me you will find a fair number are repeats from earlier collections, possibly using different narrators. I don't really mind especially given the zero cost.
Good stories
A LibriVox Listener
Any chapters read by Daniele you need to have them redone. His English is not very good.
A mixed set of ideas
Robert Cottrell
Some a bit dry. Some thought provoking. Overall a good read.
mind boggling boring 💤 badly read outdated irritating readers

Clever and well read stories
Tekrytor
An enjoyable set of stories that all have clever plots and that have held up well in time. All are well read as well. The best among them, in my opinion, would be the conversation with a mummy. A delightful premise and execution.
