No table of contents

Extremely hard to listen to any of the particular books within this collection. There is no way to find the beginning of a book or to continue listening to the story you are in the middle of when one of the separated bodies of literature ends. There is no cohesiveness between these separated works. I was in the last third of one of the books when the recording ended. The next book in line started with another book altogether. I ended up having to look up the audiobook on Youtube to finish listening to it. I am going to return this audiobook. It is a Librivox recording, and all the stories are easier to listen to elsewhere, or to order separately. I don't suggest this to anyone.

SCAM

This is a joke. Do not buy!!! It is a trick. These are only small parts of the books listed.

difficulties with index

Index of collection shows chapters. Due to the fact that collection holds 10 titles it is impossible to locate wich book I am reading. please fix index, showing name of book in chapters. thanks

There is a reason this download is cheap

I've never heard worse narration. Its like listening to a half-illiterate relative try to sound out the story. Nope. Just Nope. Maybe if you are capable of tuning out the terrible narration in favor of trying to absorb some classics, but I'd recommend you go elsewhere - this will make you despise otherwise great tales.

10 Essential Pieces of Literature

I post this review because all the reviews were bad.
I find the Narrate good, ( I don't like high pitch voices ) but now it's not playing.
I've spent .66 cent on worse things.
Enjoy!!

I cannot download this

I wasted 66 cents it would have been a fantastic deal had it worked I have tried 10 × download this and various ways and it will not download to my phone It is almost 90 hours long I don't know if that is why but I could not get this to work Save your money and buy the titles individually

test

It is (as you can already tell by the title) the US variation of the book, with all the oddness that comes with it but it mostly cames out unscathed.
I've heard the UK audiobook before, however, and while Jim Dale comes close, Stephen Fry is the better narrator so I'm doubly annoyed that we don't have the option to buy the Philosopher's Stone version.

Could not play on website and could not download

I ordered another book that was only 64 hours, it would not play either, but was able to download. This book would do neither.

In German and only first chapter plays.

In German and only first chapter plays. Unfortunately, I do not speak German and - if I did - only the first chapter out of dozens plays any sound.

Decent, but messy.

Needs to be seperated by book, not chapters.
Better narrator, Taylor, while obviously trying, sadly doesnt do these classic works the justice they deserve.

The second book is about pirates

I'm sorry but this is a scam.
I was truly enjoying this collection of books. Until I heard that this was a Librevox Recordingsand that all Librevox Recordings are part of the public domain.
The reader is Mark F. Smith who did an excellent performance and vollentered his time and effort to make this production. If its mark from N. Carolina opting to monitise his work through Audible it it fine I guess but since the narrator is listed as Mathew Taylor I believe we're dealing with a shady third party.
If Audible would make the Librevox library available for her members for free...

hard work, but good performance and great prose

tedious and hard work, and very much a reworking of others works. I wont listen again, and wouldn't recommend it

Great, but need to have chapters and book titels

It would be great if they let you know which parts of the book you where on.

Problems down loading

The books the narrator and the performance is great, you just can’t download them very well!!!

very good for the 1st book nice and long

the sound is very good on my PC I have seen the movies but the books are mush better very good for the 1st book nice and long over 87h

Dated

These stories were suitablecfor 10 year old boys in the 1950s. No modern authors & no women. Worse, no way to tell where each starts and ends. Poor.

Not easy to use! It's simply useless difficult and

Not easy to read as it is too much to see all at once. Break it up and it will be better
