i have no idea if the stories are any good. i couldnt stand the constant repeating of words due to bad editing. Every 4-5 minutes the reader will repeat 1-5 words 1-5 words. Its really hard to listen to.

editing made me return this

I'm into the 2nd book (20,000 Leagues Under The Sea), and due to the constant audio stuttering, skipping, and repeating in the first two books, it's a struggle to finish both books. When the 2nd book finishes, I will remove this series from my device

Good stories. Totally unacceptable editing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The narration is really good on some great old classics... the editing on the audio is ABYSMAL! It constantly skips like an old scratched record - if you're old enough to get that reference - and in many places whole sections are removed, like detailed descriptions of a room, item, or person, but the edit is very very poorly done. Many times in mid sentence, even mid word, it just skips ahead several sentences, or a paragraph or two. This is seriously not worth the time or money/credit. It's disappointing that Audio even let's this exist on the platform. it's a ripoff! If, like me, you buy books in advance to listen to later, you can't even get a refund if you wait to long to start.

TERRIBLE AUDIO

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The stories were very good, but the skipping throughout the entire recording was very annoying.

The recording skipped backward and repeated partial sentences quite frequently through the entire recording.

Skips (due to editing?) aren't too bad when it skips back a second or so, but are bad when they skip forward, and words are lost.

Great collection with bad skips

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

the audio jumps and you sometimes miss words or words are repeated again. it makes it hard to follow such interesting books that I had such a desire to listen to.

audio cuts in and out

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

These are good stories well told but whoever did the edit needs to try again. There are frequent instances of small loops where the same few seconds plays twice and other spots where an unknown portion of the story is missing. It could be missing just a few words or a few pages but there's no way to tell without doing a proper comparison. What I can say is one sentence gets cut off and the next starts mid way. Given the relatedness of the two partial sentences I'd estimate that the portion missing is more than a full sentence but less than a page.

The audio needs a ton of work.

With a great variety of books and short stories, it's an amazing bargain. However, it does have skipping issues. If it skipped forward I would have returned the book after the first chapter, but the first book I listened to mostly skipped backward (about once per minute it would skip back and repeat several words) so you don't miss anything. Some of the subsequent books skipped backward and forward at times, but I have endured. I did also notice during the Invisible Man, the volume swung up and down in a very annoying fashion. The other five books I have listened to did not have the volume problem.

Aside from the skipping, the performances are all good. I'm surprised to say I'm enjoying reading all these classics, many of which I have only seen in the movies.

I don't often review books, but felt compelled.

the stories were amazing but they were broken and poorly edited. it kept repeating and skipping.

the audio is broken

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

it's a great series of books and a wonderful collection but it skips entire sentences quite frequently as well as skipping back a few words and repeating itself it really takes you out of listening

disappointing audio
