Overall enjoyable; but several of these stories were quoted dated in terms of language and content. Heavily weighted toward British upper class sensibility. The quality of writing is excellent but certainly not representative of the diverse background of experiences.

There are a few good stories but most of them are meh. This is similar to the other three sets. The narration is good but stories are lackluster.

Few Good Stories

Bronson Pinchot reads a few of them and is amazing. All the pieces are worth listening to and most have surprise endings

extremely interesting short stories

Most stories deal now with end of life or melancholy, still a good variety though.

Interesting but not as good as number I

Many of the stories feature good writing that leads nowhere. Girl meets boy. She likes him, but he's not interested. No explanation as to why. She goes away. The end.

Style over substance
