What did you like best about Guy de Maupassant: Selected Stories? What did you like least?

Occasional good story. Really bad reader(s).

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

N/A

What didn’t you like about the narrators’s performance?

Very stilted, annoying Boston or Bronx accent.

Could you see Guy de Maupassant: Selected Stories being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

N/A

Any additional comments?

Yeah, don't let this guy read anymore. From the reader of "The Horla", anyway. It was so disturbing listening to his plodding, badly-accented speech that it really took any enjoyment away from the story.

Not his best stories and not the greatest reader
