Quick Stories

The stories are quick and perfect when doing house or yard work. The reader's accenting was a little distracting but still enjoyable.

Monotone

Would you try another book from the authors and/or Cathy Dobson?

Yes, I would try another book from the authors.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

On the whole the stories were excellent.

How could the performance have been better?

the stories were read in a monotone. I am used to readers changing their voices as the read .

Could you see Fireside Tales being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Haven't thought of that.

Great book with some great stories

I'm glad that I didn't listen to the review on how bad the narrator was. I thought she did a great job and am looking forward to other books read by her. Some of the stories we're not as good as others but over all a really great book.

Unlistenable

What disappointed you about Fireside Tales?

The cadence of the reading was, after noticing, unbearable.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Couldn't tell, the focus was on the reader, not the story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Cathy Dobson’s performances?

nope.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Fireside Tales?

Were there scenes?

Awful narration

There are so many books I want to purchase until I see who the narrator is for the book. I cannot get past how she reads. I wish I could.
