Good stories & reading. A few bad recordings.


(4 Sterne)

I enjoyed these very much, but 3-5 were recorded such that every few seconds the recording did not pick up the reader's voice. I thought it it was background noise or me not paying attention enough, but listening very intently, the words just seem to skip part of the sentence every few moments. I had to skip those because I couldn't follow the story. Excellent group of stories & readers otherwise.

Gripping!


(5 Sterne)

A wonderful set of tales with some very unusual concepts. One in particular had me on the edge of my seat! But beware.. a few contain language or bias of the time that might be offensive to some.

An entertaining collection of stories


(4 Sterne)

An interesting collection of stories by H G Wells, most were entertaining but some were hard to listen to because of the reader's accents were pretty heavy (no offense intended).
