Customer Reviews
Loved It
When I first started listening to these plays I was blown away by the warm, nostalgic quality of the sound and the first story was so well done. I really enjoyed A Christmas Story, it was great to listen to leading up to the holidays. The following two stories didn't impress me as much in terms of sound quality and performance quality but they were also fun to listen to. There is lots of material in this audiobook so I think it's a good buy for the price and fantastic for anyone who likes to sit back and listen to a good story.
