Bringing classis stories to new readers

A hodge podge of stories, varying in quality. I liked the narrator, but there were minor issues. A few spots repeated the same words of narration and there was something a degree or two off. May be the microphone, maybe the room where the book was recorded. They were small issues, but I want the author/narrator to be aware. A worthwhile thing, bringing these old stories to new listeners.

Short Stories by Science Fiction's Big Names

As was typical of '50s and '60s Science Fiction, many of these stories were much more about science than people and I found several of them quite dry. There are some great moments though, several stories with surprise endings I loved.
All in all, it's a good collection that reacquainted me with authors whose contribution to the genre is unquestioned and it's a perfect introduction for new SF fans looking to find explore the roots of the genre.
An enjoyable collection of stories well read by the editor.

Clever Classic Science Fiction

I enjoyed these intriguing and clever tales of Science Fiction. These entertaining stories are mainly from the 1950s, but none are dated. I thought the narration my was excellent, but a few repetitions needed to be edited out.

Good short stories

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a good collection of short stories from the 50s and 60s.
The narration was not terrible but it was not the best that I have ever heard.
