Wait, where were we?

A story teller telling stories about story tellers can quickly find you lost and wondering in who's story you're currently swimming. Shahrazad is the master of story tellers and an inspiration for those of us who would like to tell our own tales.

Not the same as the one by Geraldine McCaughrean

If you are looking to match the one by Geraldine McCaughrean - it’s not this one

The horrible reading.

The stories didn’t make sense, story inside a story until you get lost at some point. The reading was tiresome especially at higher speeds.

Love the Stories

Narrators cadence like a robotic William Shatner. other than that the stories were as remembered.

voice

I didn't care for the narrator's voice. Not trying to be over critical, but it sounded almost like a computer generated voice.

Issue with narrator. Try another narration if you don’t want to be bored

Narrator is very wooden. Reminded me of listening to a 1940s history documentary. Wish I could get a refund on this one

Narration

The narration was wooden and robotic. I couldn't complete the book. The narrator sounded like a computer generated voice.
