I was sorry to hear the biscuits had been replaced by a Kitkat. Recommend you read Douglas Adams, (second only to Terry Pratchett imo), and be wary when eating biscuits in public places. Prob best to avoid KitKats altogether.

1. The first story's great. It was quite funny, the twist was hilarious :) 2. Not really a deep story and not 'family friendly'. All her fears were also quite ungrounded, and it tells the listener that if you do something out of spite, you'll end up happy. Quite a shitty message, actually. 3. This was a sad story if you think about it. The kid's background and the shame surrounding his dilemma were quite tragic. I'm glad this had a positive ending. 4. I can't empathise with such a nasty character. The 'twist' at the end was stupid. Feel free to skip this. 5. The writing was really good. I am just so disappointed that the ending was so...abrupt? Yeah, we get it, you regret what you wanted all along. The ending could have been wittier. 6. I won't call this story comedy per se; but, it's an interesting story. Did the story just insinuate that the woman was a whor- you know what, I think I can conclude this on my own. I would also like to believe that this renewed their feelings for each other because there is so much more beneath the surface of their marriage. 7. I feel bad because it felt like it was being set up to something greater and the ending just fell really short. That punchline was stupid. I get the 'moral' of the story, just that it could have been presented better. 8. Long winding and so many irrelevant details for a short story, this story could have been cut by a third. I saw the ending a mile away. The shenanigans were quite funny, but really unbelievable. Anyway, I really loved the first story. Shame, majority of the other stories did not live up to the quality of the first. Great narration for all of them, though :)
@Gottenhimfella5 жыл бұрын
Regarding (in particular) your commentary to story 2, the notion that stories should convey a moral message, reward good moral behaviour, or in some other way end happily, seems to me a little strange. These are not Sunday school homilies ... Even the Bible does not invariably follow your prescription. Take for instance the parable in Matthew, about the servants and the talents. It is not describing the world as it ought to be, but as it is.

story 3 is horrible and totally vile. Could not believe what i was hearing. Shame on Hayley Mills for narrating it, but she was probably from one of those creepy childhood backgrounds that thinks that mind set is ok. And no, that is NOT British humour.

Ashley I did not like the third story either and if you read the comments there are a lot of other people who also did not like it .

You lost me with that "zanie!" Music at the beginning. Very jarring & 😬 idk. ..too much. But thx for the effort 👌. To each their own

Yes, those 15 seconds of jaunty piano completely spoiled the following 2 hours of storytelling.

I didn't like that jarring music either and I agree and I also did not like that third story and didn't go past it after reading the comments ... I didn't find the third-story humorous and just didn't even want to continue after that . That was the one where the six-year-old kid goes off alone with the doctor and his family

I agree with you and if you scroll through the comments you will see a number of other people like us did not like it ... it was disturbing

I say this as a review, not necessarily a criticism. But the first story was funny. The second one was not so much, maybe in a dark bitter way. Hardly appropriate for the whole family. As was the third story which was also actually kind of sad and with an almost disturbing feel to it. I didn't listen past the third as none so far had been funny, save the first.

Sounds critical...perhaps easily offend and you should stick to g rated cartoons

I think a lot of people have really lost the ability to concentrate and comprehend like they once did, and we have got so used to sound bites, and fast paced in your face action on telly. This is not a criticism of your review, merely an observation. I suffer from insomnia and have found that I have managed to rekindle my love of nice slow paced stories that conclude gently.....short stories with no thrills, just a gentle pace, food for thought I guess

I agree with you. From all the stories, only the first one was funny.

Yeah that turd story was kind of weird ... didn't care for it and at one point I was starting to think they might be predators .
