Didn’t know what to expect

I actually didn’t know who Philip K Dick was until I stared,listening to science fiction short story podcasts and like the stores. I liked the idea of not having to listen to all the podcast ads. I liked the variety of stories he wrote. I have heard the performer before and like his voice and presentations.

Some really fine stories well performed

Kevin Killavay does a decent job narrating the stories in this collection. His voice is not that of a mature American male but of an American male in his early to mid twenties. Some of the stories are over acted as if he were in a community theatre company. As to the stories, most are very fine, illuminating, interesting and some are disturbing.

the book was.....

it's kind of hard to understand or keep up with the story you kind of get lost if you're not paying attention. this is one of the books you must pay attention to each word or you will get lost in the story, and not in a good way.

It's PKD what's not to love

a bunch of short stories from PKD. Well worth a credit. It's easy to have a few favorites in this compilation.

I Love Philip K. Dick's Writing But...

I'm not sure whether or not it's the stories or the narration, but every one of the stories is so predictable, that I know the ending way before it happens. I do think the narrator does not help in some cases in that his reading gives things away way too early.

Last story was so captivating!

All the stories were entertaining and thought provoking; some more than others. Some were a bit predictable but enjoyable all the same. Sometimes the readers accents got a bit mixed up but he had so many to do he can’t really be blamed The last story was spellbinding to the point were I truly couldn’t stop listening though I had other things I really needed to do :)

Good enough tales, hard to listen to.

Serms to me that Phillip K Dick does better work on longer stories. Some of his characters made me cringe with how stupid they were. However, as a fan of the author and genre, you should read these stories.

And I do mean read. My main issue with this product is the reader. During most of the book I was instinctively sniffing. The reader sounds so stuffed up during some sections that I hoped he would stop and blow his nose. Overall an unpleasant thing to listen to.

Not His Best Work But Worthy

These short stories were fun to listen to as well as being solidly in the realm of good SyFy. Anyone listening to them will enjoy most, if not all, of them. Normally, I'm prepared to experience either mediocre or the worst when I purchase either Collected Works or multiple author short stories packages. I'm pleased to say that was not one of those times.

a bit more space between stories

Some chronology for each story would have been nice. Also some info on where the stories were first published would have been helpful.

never a fan Boi but...

a trip through time and space, writing that will no doubt will by far out live us...
