Annoying narrator
The narrator"s unusual tone made it difficult to enjoy the stories.
Some stories were not that enjoyable. I would have returned the book but left I too late.

Good selection, but ...
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. The delivery becomes increasingly irritating the more one listens.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The intonation is arbitrary, insensitive to the content.
Did British Classic Short Stories inspire you to do anything?
Read in slilence.
Any additional comments?
The mismatch is a shame.
