5 stars ONLY for the portions I listened to.

PLEASE NOTE: the 5-star rating has a caveat: I listened only to the stories narrated by Wyndham. My apologies to the other two narrators but listening to all the stories would have necessitated my having to give the book and its narration a lower rating.
[Explanation: Pairing these two male narrators was a remarkably ill-conceived idea. The effect was jarring. If you were looking for a hard-boiled voice that would complement Alex Wyndham's voice, might I suggest Ray Porter or Clancy Brown next time? There is nothing wrong with the other male narrator's voice per se, but it should not ever be paired with Wyndham's voice.]

Not good

Don’t waste your money or points on this. Horrid…wish I could return it.
Does not read like a non-fiction and I doubt it is. The tile is pretty misleading.
