Series is getting a bit thin
Not sure why my son and I have gotten a bit tired with this series, when other things from this age group still delight. The characters seem a bit unlikeable in this installment, and despite the narrator/author being an actor, his is not my favorite voice to listen to. Still, if your child likes this series, there's nothing particularly objectionable here. My son liked it more than I did.

Too much usage of the word Crap. My kids love these stories, and this story would’ve worked fine without the word crap being in there so much.

I never give bad reviews but this is awful
What disappointed you about Adventures from the Land of Stories Boxed Set?
My daughter and I have listened to the series and we were both looking forward to this book. After about 20 minutes she was asking me when it was going to be over and if I would please turn it off. The Author and Narrator is a very talented person and we enjoy the performance of the series but this was grating. Unless the audience member is older they most likely won't get the humor of these two stories. I would not waste the time or money on this purchase.
What was most disappointing about Chris Colfer’s story?
The one character dialogue for the vast majority of the story makes for an annoying audiobook. The humor is lost on younger fans and generally speaking most children won't get the historical references.
Which scene was your favorite?
None
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No
Any additional comments?
Would like a refund....and I only paid half price.
