The stories were duplicates of some other things I've consumed, but the narration made this hard to hear. It sounded like it had echo, like maybe it was recorded in a room with hard surfaces without careful consideration for sound absorption and mic quality. My $100 mic sounds much better. It's too bad because the book is better than the recording, even though I heard much of it from other of his books.

Always a treat hearing the author read his own work. I listened in via Hawaii State Library and OverDrive Audiobooks.

I forgot how much I loved these books. They seem somewhat abridged here but it's great to hear them in Kurt's voice. Going to have to go back and read them in print again, and see which ones I've missed, though I've read at least 15 of his over the years. So it goes.

Downloaded from Audible.com

This title no longer seems to be available at audible.com.

If I recall correctly, it was very disappointing. I like Kurt Vonnegut's writing, but this was a poor quality audiobook.

This is the author reading excerpts from some of his works. I've read the books before, and this is a great refresher of some of his best material. I don't know if this would have been as good if I hadn't already read the books.
There are some complete short stories and essays at the end, including Harrison Bergeron, which is one of his best.
All in all great stuff.
