Reseñas de la Crítica

"...the stories...make entertaining reading and are ideal for reluctant readers." (Media Review)

A most amazing storyteller

O Henry is astounding in his ability to conjure tales with a surprise ending for each. His Characters are individuals of depth. And…Frank Muller! I did not want this to end. More for me of O Henry and Frank Muller.

Stories with a twist

The 1st story is the only one I had previously known. After listening to this book I am The better for it all. I chose the story because of the narrator. FM Is my all time favorite narrator.

Simply masterful

Good, Simple, Fantastic. Sentences like plays, The best case of the short story ever written, even to this very day.

wonderful.

I love O'Henry, especially his short stories, and it was wonderfully read, or should I say performed?

5stars, will read (listen to) again

I found this for free while looking for books narrated by Frank Mueller. first I've heard of this author, will check out his other works

Abysmal quality, superb literature

This seems to be a fairly common theme among the books I have had occasion to look at at audible.com, according to the reviewers It has certainly borne through in the two I have bought so far. This narrators voice seems to emanate from the depths of a cellar, and unless you turn the treble upon your speakers all the way up, the voice hardly comes through. I imagine a fair amount of self selection in my experiences, though, as I am fond of the classics of the 'complete collected unabridged' variety. The stories themselves are superb, and I for one am wiling to tolerate the lack of clarity for the content. I put this review out there for informtional purposes, although you migt well end up making the same choice I did. Unfortunately, this is the most complete collected recording of O. Henry out there.
