these are great stories I like some more than others the one thing I didn’t like about the book says at the end of the story it would just jump right into the next story you kind of how to be paying attention but overall it was a great experience

Jack London is a great writer!!! However, this book is difficult to pay attention to! The narrator is easy to understand but the tone of the narration is in my opinion monotone! I've read some of these stories before and I'm desperately trying to figure out who the narrator was, so that I might offer you an alternative! When I find it, I'll add it to this review.

Meh...

These classic Jack London stories are engaging, if a little tedious in detail...at times. The problem here is the narration. Little to no inflection. In fact, it is difficult to tell when a story ends, as the reader moves on to the title of the next story without a pause, and with no change in voice or inflection while reading the title and starting the next story.

Classic stories, poorly read

Narration was good. The stories are great. Sadly, there are not much of a break between chapters, so I don't always know when pl one story ends and the other begins.

No Chapter breaks
