I really like the stories in this book

Excellent stories, some readers difficult to understand

(4 Sterne)

The stories are a good range from different regions. Unfortunately Julia Niedermaier is extremely difficult to understand so I have skipped those stories.

I wish I new the athours

Women readers are lame

(0 Sterne)

Nothing ruins any reading more than listening to some woman that sounds like they are teaching a group of preschool kids, and if that isn't the case, then it's some woman talking with some unrecognizable accent, rattling on at near the speed of light. My hat's off to the men that read, as there is very seldom the case that their performance is not superb or in the very least quite adequate.
