- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5All of the stars I gave were for the story. The production was so distracting from the story it was borderline comical. All the characters were obviously recorded at different locations/times. There was different ambient noise for each recording and no feeling of interaction between the characters. I've had better experiences in elementary school read aloud sessions. In future I suggest getting together to record at the very least.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting short story but narration was odd - voice actors were mechanical and stilted. Narrator unnecessarily added "he said" or "she said" after nearly every line of dialogue.
