Short Science Fiction Collection 004


(5 stars)

Stories are a good listen and are mostly well read - Thanks!

So-So


(3 stars)

Agree with the previous reviewer that the stories are mixed, some good, most depressing tho. Seems like most sci-fi authors felt that the future is going to end badly in some way. This is an older recording, BTW, so it has a LOT of rough recordings and sound issues. I had to skip one story because it was unlistenable.

A fair selection


(3.5 stars)

Is “The Repairman” in every third collection of short stories? Some poor audio in some of these. Maybe LibriVox needs a volunteer sound processing team too, to get consistency with audio levels and so on. The short story collections are really some of the gems of LibriVox. Most of these are pretty good or very good

Nice collection of short stories

Really enjoyable stories that although a little dated are historical pieces in their own right. Many make me smaile
