A few of the stories were funny and a few were emotional. Agamemnon and the Curse of the Catafalques were very funny, I got a chuckle from both of those. The chapters read by the one reader I couldn't understand; her voice was too high and her accent too heavy. I skipped those. I liked Joyce's reading, she did a nice job.
