(5 stars)

Grace Buchanan is a narrator I hadn’t heard before and I was impressed by her great reading. Dale Grothman and Peter Thomlinson always does a great job. Really all the volunteers did a wonderful job. I say thank you to each and LibriVox. Each short story was much enjoyed.

good readings spoiled by uneven volume


(3 stars)

I found this set of stories less engaging than average but a good job by all the readers, especially in light of that. However the volume between readers/stories was very uneven which detracted from the overall experience.
