Reviews

great reader, stories from great to Eh


(3.5 stars)

Well read. FYI, these are not historical fiction. They are short stories ranging from mediocre to quite interesting. Your tastes may vary. Try it out - very few are the same.

A collection of stories with very different tone but finely read
