I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about, these audio books are awesome. I own quite a few of the chicken soup for the soul books, dvd's, and audio tapes and I enjoy them all. I enjoy listening to the audio books while driving in my car. They are so enjoyable. They do an excellent job narrating the stories. Some make me laugh, some make me cry, and some make me do both (laugh and cry). They are definitely worth the money. If you like audio books, you will love this set.
