it's...

an acquired taste. keep in mind none of these stories have endings. they were all scavenged from his works posthumously. The narrator is fantastic his voice and acting brings to life something that was... incomplete at best. I think truly this is for die hard CS Lewis fans more than it is for anyone looking for a collection of short stories to pass the time.

Amazing

Amazing voice amazing stories it just makes you want more and more and it will never get old you need to get its right now

Tantalizing and frustrating!

When I get to Heaven, the first thing I’ll do is march right up to C. S. Lewis’ door and demand the rest of HIS The Dark Tower.

Hidden Gems of C.S. Lewis

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to a friend because it is C.S. Lewis. The stories are great even if not as developed and finished as some of his more popular works. They give a person greater insight into the workings of a truly masterful story teller's mind.

What other book might you compare Short Stories to and why?

I would compare these short stories to books like "the great divorce." Or perhaps to the posthumously published Tolkien short stories that are not always finished, but open up a new world for you to play with.

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved "the Dark Tower." But I had to laugh and replay the part where C.S. Lewis comes up with an acronym spelling "What Ho" for the name of a woman's group intent on sending ugly prostitutes to scientists in space.

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

I did listen to this book all in one sitting. It wasn't very long, and it was a nice way to relax while I carved on a Sunday afternoon.

Great Listening

Would you listen to Short Stories again? Why?

These stories are so creative. It seems many films have taken ideas from these stories.

Fun!

Love it, but almost each story ends when you really want it to keep going. unfinished works. :)

fascinating

A great collection of short stories and unfinished works by CSL. So tantalizing to read bits and pieces of things he never completed! Some stories were funny, some sad, some disturbing, but all worth a listen. the narrator did a good job with all the voices.

Opened up new concepts in my mind

I really liked how the various stories provided new ideas or ways of looking at things.

Can you come up with the ending

I used my imagination. Something books don’t do. How does it end? Enjoyed it very much.

Different from the usual Lewis, but not worse

Intriguing to listen to his other writing, including the ones that are incomplete. What an interesting mind he had.
