Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile

The sound effects that transition from one story to the next are authentic, but they're lengthy and seem more like filler than additions to the stories. But this is only true because the stories themselves are so good. A.F. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
