The Worst Accent

Story itself was fine, but that is the worst Polish accent ever. Had to skip over it.

Couldn’t get very far… maybe just me?

After five or so starts, I give up. Though the narration was beyond perfect and rather humorous, the plot dragged on and on and on… However, as my editor, dear friend and mentor wisely told me in 1979, “If everyone liked the same things, the world would indeed be a boring one.” RIP Dan Di Leo
