2.0 out of 5 stars
A cheap read, but little else.,

This review is from: More Classic American Short Stories (Classic Fiction) (Audio CD)
First off, here are the short stories included on the 2 discs:
A Horseman in the Sky - Ambrose Bierce Regret - Kate Chopin Eclipse - James Fenimore Cooper The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky - Stephen Crane The Cop and the Anthem - O. Henry The Princess and the Puma - O. Henry The Whirligig of Life - O. Henry Read by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross Based on the name recognition of the authors, I was expecting much more. None of the stories were known to me (and probably not to anyone outside an english lit department). Two of the stories were decent, but the rest were unimpressive. Wasn't impressed with the readers either, as they tended towards over-acting (though perhaps the material lent itself to that). The two-disc set served its purpose of keeping me awake on a long drive to a fishing cabin, but little else. I did like the fact that I could stop between short stories, unlike a longer novel. On my last long trip, I was listening to Shadow Divers (great book!) and arrived at my destination in the middle of a dive emergency. Had to wait three days to learn the fate of the divers. Can't say I would really recommend this compilation, but if you're a voracious reader/listener who goes through books like candy, the price is hard to beat. Also might be more enjoyable to someone else for the nostalgic qualities. |
