    Story
    "Enjoyed it"

    I enjoyed this audio. It is very short and is about a bunch of ronin who avenge their master's death. It was short and to the point. Had it been an hour longer, maybe it would have been too much. For under $2 this story is worth it though.

    Story
    "Mixed Feelings"

    Be warned: if you have any knowledge of Japanese pronunciation, this reading is almost physically painful at times. If you don't know to tell, however, then by all means take a listen. The reading is otherwise very well done, and the story a classic.

    "Japanese pronunciation will make you wince"

    This is an awful rendition of a classic tale. Don't waste your money. Narration to fall asleep by.
