Happy to have had a go at reading this but not worth the problems.

However, it did not download properly and really messed up my Audible app. Now I’m faced with trying to get it off my phone 😱

P.S.: could have done without the philosophy piece. Also overall, in many of the stories, there were many mispronunciations. Many!

Good idea, Bad delivery.

My one complaint is that there is no way of knowing where one novel begins or ends. it begins with chapter 1 and continues into the hundreds. so if you just want to read certain books, you don't know where to begin.
Good idea, terrible delivery. And I wasted 2 credits on this.

Boring Narrator

Not worth a credit, the term masterpieces is subjective. Boring narrators, wizard of oz is good the rest are very hit or miss.

Several selections are quite boring

While I might need to read these selections, they are unfortunately somewhat boring. The female reader is much better than most of the male narrators. The Marcus Aurelius entry is a real snorefest. I would not recommend this collection

Poorly read masterpieces.

We listened to the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities before returning this Audible. It sounds as if an uneducated high school drama student reads it. He mispronounces even the most basic French words. Atrocious.

What happened?!

I was on Chapter 288. A GK Chesterton story with 15 minutes to go when it switched over to some woman reading poetry!

Difficult to navigate

Although the contents of this massive tome are wonderful in their own right, it is impossible to find where one book end and the other begins. It is also not possible to know what book is being like listened to. There is no table of contents available. I may want to experience some of these books but it is impossible lefto find where one begins and another ends.
