Good stories read live.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I liked the stories, they are read to a live audience, which is nice (authentic laughs). Each story is read by a different actor, some better than others. Note that actors transition from loud to soft for dramatic effect, unlike the usual monotone of a standard reader. I dislike as I travel in a car with variable background noise that makes me turn the volume way up for soft parts and then be blasted by the actors' emphasis of a joke, as this isn't a problem for most people's listening I still give this 5 stars.
Excellent Storytelling!

I have been a devoted Selected Shorts fan for about 12 years and I thought this collection was really first-class. I listened to it at night in the car when I was on the road and enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the stories "Farrell's Caddy" and "Chivalry." The other stories were very good, too. I would heartily recommned this collection to anyone who enjoys a well told tale. John La Boone, St. Marys, Georgia
