Totally agree with previous review

This collection (as presented by Audible) is a total absurdity in so far as one can tolerate it. The narrator and by extension Audible disrepect the author on so many levels that one might be excused in thinking that some base motives were at play here .
Whatever the rational, this is an abysmal narration and clearly indicates that Audible exercises little or no quality control around their book releases.

Don't waste your credit.

Narrator reads way too fast as if he's trying to get a mundane task over with as fast as possible. Even by reducing the speed, it doesn't sound right. Peppered out loud with the word "STOP" every time he makes an error, which is often. I guess nobody saw fit to edit those parts out. Horrible tribute to talented western writers.
