overall awesome stories and performance but.....

Overall awesome stories and great performance but it won't download the full audiobook. It cut off right when Robinson Crusoe was getting good! Right after Friday entered the story! Soooo bummed because that's the book I bought the collection for. Wish I could get my money back.

No table of contents

Extremely hard to listen to any of the particular books within this collection. There is no way to find the beginning of a book or to continue listening to the story you are in the middle of when one of the separated bodies of literature ends. There is no cohesiveness between these separated works. I was in the last third of one of the books when the recording ended. The next book in line started with another book altogether. I ended up having to look up the audiobook on Youtube to finish listening to it. I am going to return this audiobook. It is a Librivox recording, and all the stories are easier to listen to elsewhere, or to order separately. I don't suggest this to anyone.

10 Essential Pieces of Literature

I post this review because all the reviews were bad.
I find the Narrate good, ( I don't like high pitch voices ) but now it's not playing.
I've spent .66 cent on worse things.
Enjoy!!

test

It is (as you can already tell by the title) the US variation of the book, with all the oddness that comes with it but it mostly cames out unscathed.
I've heard the UK audiobook before, however, and while Jim Dale comes close, Stephen Fry is the better narrator so I'm doubly annoyed that we don't have the option to buy the Philosopher's Stone version.

A collection of some very good books

I don't understand why everyone is so bent out of shape. The only complaint I have is that there is not whay to find where one book ends and another begins. Getting several classic stories for the price of one is a great deal. I thought the narrator did a fine job. don't listen to the na sayers, this is a good buy.

Excellent recordings VERY POOR set up

None of the books are separated. Everything is under a single set of consecutive chapters

All jumbled together!

This would be worth it if there were a way to know where each story is, but there isn't and I don't have time to waste figuring out where everything is

unable to listen to this book due to an error!

If I could download it, I'm sure it would be a great book. all my other books downloaded without trouble but this book won't download. I've tried several times to download it but each time an error stops it within the first second. since I paid for the book and I can't listen to it, I'm not really happy with it! out of 100's of books in my library, this is the 1st book to have errors with the download.
