How not to perform Saki
This is a truly terribble performance of Saki's work. It is performed with an excruciating lack of pace and sense of voice -- it's like wading through mud.

reader is obnoxious
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The stories lack drama, but the reader is a goody two-shoes and hard to listen to, unless you are enamored of NPR.
How could the performance have been better?
