    Wow, some of these comments are unbelievable!
    If you don't like it, don't listen! Nobody is forcing you. Read your own books to yourself your way. Establish your own YT channel and run it your way!

    I did a paper on crane in college, all his books are filled with color to express a "feeling ".

    🙃 The reader is listed as Deaver Brown. Audible says he narrates several books. Apparently also an author.
    Good voice and intonation.

      I doubt very much if it is Deaver Brown because Mr Brown is an American from Massachusetts and this AI voice is based on an English (British) speaker.

    Felt fast tempo to me. I reset my playback to .75.
    Feels slow at first but by 1:55 the pace of reading works better to me. Much more relaxing.
    I believe that they speed it up to get readings into a specific time frame.

      @@sarchalto It's difficult to explain unless you're familiar with physical printed pages but here goes: If a magazine can fit two or three pieces of prose fiction into a single issue and still have room for the usual feature articles, those fictional works are called "short stories." Ok?

      Depends on how you define it: Stephen Crane, known for his realistic and often stark portrayals of life, authored several notable short stories. Here are five of his works:
      The Open Boat - Based on Crane's real-life experience of surviving a shipwreck, this story explores themes of nature, fate, and human solidarity.
      The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky - This story humorously and poignantly depicts the confrontation between traditional Western motifs and modern changes.
      The Blue Hotel - Set in a Nebraska hotel, this story delves into the themes of fear, fate, and the human condition through the experiences of the hotel's guests.
      The Monster - This story challenges the social norms and prejudices of a small town when a man becomes disfigured while saving a child from a fire.
      An Episode of War - A realistic depiction of the Civil War, focusing on a lieutenant who is wounded in battle, illustrating the randomness and brutality of war.

    I,m sorry, but I think the guy reading this and other stories like it needs to find another job.
    It,s true that any narrator is inevitably bound to leave his mark on the text, but this man’s ability to do so is a little too dire for my taste.

      Yes. I agree with- you. Feminine / Masculine voices are inapropriately "placed". Also the pronounciation is off ("whack") - "canter". Art.- Int.!
