As with many old books, there are some bigoted words commonly used over 100 years ago. But it's well read and entertaining.

good stories only from readers I could tolerate. I'm glad it wasn't a whole book.
manageable.

fraid there are many readers who just aren't cut out to be fair narrators. some stories were read like shopping list and bus timetables. every one can read a tale but it takes a good man to tell a story.
A mixed bag with volume inconsistency

some good stories, some less so, most readers okay but volume normalization seemed to have gone by the board, with some tracks booming and distorted while others were barely audible.
