I don't think many adults will love this book, it is simply too dated. Harris' performance on the other hand is actually quite entertaining and was one of my favorite parts of listening to this book. The writing and storytelling in this series is not as polished or as sharp as Ms Cleary's later works but it is still good. My daughter on the other hand loves this, she keeps asking me to explain some of the (now defunct and dead) aspects of that society.what she calls "the olden times".for example I found myself explaining what a phone booth was. The result is that the stories are a bit dated, and for today's adult audience a little silly. What this means is that they are set in early 1950's Portland OR, and as such represent the sensibilities and thought patterns of that time. They were written back in like the early 1950's, and were written in "modern Portland, OR". These, I believe, are Ms Cleary's first attempts at writing, at least they are her first published attempts.
From my viewpoint, I felt that this book was good but not in the same league as Ms. She just keeps listening to it again and again. I am not exaggerating when I say that she has been listening to this book every night as she goes to sleep for over a month. So I had originally rated this book 3 stars but in light of my daughters obsession with listening to this book over and over and over and over and over and over.(ad nauseum) I felt I needed to bump up the rating to 4 stars. Henry's Adventure Henry and the Paper Route 21. The Boy Who Ate Dog Food Henry and Ribsy 14. So: Because we listen to this constantly at bedtime and my boys request specific chapters which are not listed, here are the chapter titles according to the track numbers. The only thing I would change would be chapter titles listed in the Audible app so we can listen to specific stories.
