Poorly read masterpieces.

We listened to the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities before returning this Audible. It sounds as if an uneducated high school drama student reads it. He mispronounces even the most basic French words. Atrocious.

What happened?!

I was on Chapter 288. A GK Chesterton story with 15 minutes to go when it switched over to some woman reading poetry!

Difficult to navigate

Although the contents of this massive tome are wonderful in their own right, it is impossible to find where one book end and the other begins. It is also not possible to know what book is being like listened to. There is no table of contents available. I may want to experience some of these books but it is impossible lefto find where one begins and another ends.

Great adventurous stories.

All of these are amazing stories and it’s good to go back and hear/read them again (some for the first time). Highly recommend even if it takes a year or two.

Happy to have had a go at reading this but not worth the problems.

However, it did not download properly and really messed up my Audible app. Now I’m faced with trying to get it off my phone 😱

P.S.: could have done without the philosophy piece. Also overall, in many of the stories, there were many mispronunciations. Many!

Good idea, Bad delivery.

My one complaint is that there is no way of knowing where one novel begins or ends. it begins with chapter 1 and continues into the hundreds. so if you just want to read certain books, you don't know where to begin.
Good idea, terrible delivery. And I wasted 2 credits on this.

One long frustrating technical expirience

Never able to get back to any story you start and, worst yet, will mysteriously jump into another story before the end of other. One minute you're listening to Sherlock Holmes then after a while you hear mention of Father Brown and then you realize that the recording had jumped to a totally different book. Find some other compilation & avoid this mess.

Unable to listen to any part of it

Every time I tried to listen to any part of the book l was told sorry there is a
problem please try again later Four attempts over two days is more than I can excuse I have given up and deleted this apparently defective book from my library

Needs labels!

Though I’m still early on (just finished Little Women) this looks to be a fantastic collection.

Problem is there are no chapter labels and so with 120something hours and hundreds of chapters it is very easy to get lost. I recommend a pencil and pad to help keep track, especially if you are one such as I who have a tendency to fall asleep while listening.
