It Sucked
What disappointed you about The Great Short Story Collection?
The narrator totally sucked
Has The Great Short Story Collection turned you off from other books in this genre?
Poked my ears out after trying to listen to this.
Would you be willing to try another one of Cathy Dobson’s performances?
I would need a lobotomy first.
