Selected Shorts: Even More Laughs Audiobook

" I selected this because I was desperate for an audio download, and it was available. Hey, it said it was funny. There are some good performances by some talented actors, many of whom create humor where it doesn't appear to exist in the text. But funny stories? Not so much. "

" This book contains entertaining and creative short-stories written recently. My favorite was the first one, "The Lie" and the audiobook was read by Stephen Colbert. "

" I enjoyed these short stories and they were all performed beautifully, but funny? There were only two which I found funny the recipe for cooking the lamb shoulder and the final story about the rebellion of the Jewish boy. All the others were definitely tragedies. "

" These were all diverting enough, but Stephen Colbert's reading of T. C. Boyle's "The Lie" and the reading of Roth's "The Conversion of the Jews" are both straight knock-outs. Fantastic readings of exceptional stories. "

" Selected Shorts: Even More Stories to Amuse White People. "

" The only laughs related to this audiobook were on the recorded laugh track. I'm not sure there were even any smiles. "
