    Four classic science-fiction stories: 20 hours of great listening. This collection of classic Wells tales includes The Invisible Man, The Time Machine, The War of The Worlds, and The Island of Doctor Moreau.

    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    Not recommended. Boring reads.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Alan Munro was the worst. So disjointed. Who hired this guy?


    Any additional comments?

    I have been doing commercial voice overs for over 30 years and if I did a read anything like 2 of your narrators I wouldn't get any work. How could Audible let this happen? I am very disappointed.

    There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

    Where does 14 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I'd rank it with my favorites.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The characters were strong. We had time to get to know them and that makes for a rich story.


    Have you listened to any of Ray Porter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    First time with Ray Porter and he did a wonderful job. He made the book even that much more enjoyable.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    It was very difficult to stop listening.


    Any additional comments?

    After a Huge disappointment with "The Diamond Age" I really needed something to get me back on track. I listened to the Hobbit again and then found "14". The ratings were high so I took a chance and I am so glad I did. I think I held my breath through chapter 79! Mr. Clines, that is a great piece of writing. Thanks!
