Interesting and intriguing
This one is difficult for me to review because I liked the last couple of chapters so much that it made the rest of the book better. It is totally intriguing, but slow for a while. I mean, I was totally interested and wanted to know, but it was not fast paced. Then the last sections were so good, I was absolutely loving it.
Also, I like the writer’s unique way of telling the story. I’ll definitely be reading his next book.

Amazing!
Six Stories is a series of six interviews with the now-grown teenagers who were at Scarclaw Fell the night Tom Jefferies died over twenty years ago. The interviews make up a series of six podcasts, aired online over six weeks. Each week, a different member of the original group of friends recalls what they can of that period of their lives, each one revealing a little more than the last.
Now, as I was saying before, this is the first audio book I have listened to with a cast, more than one narrator, in fact, there are EIGHT narrators!!! EIGHT!!!!!!! And they cover every word in the book as the whole script is told in the words of one of the characters!
What did I tell you? GENIUS!!!!!
Wesolowski has managed to combine literary brilliance with modern technology - what a fu*king achievement! Absolutely mind blowing!!! Honestly ... I could not stop listening to this, it was like having the movies in my ears for eight hours and eleven glorious minutes!!!! And trust me, glorious is the right word.
This is an absolute must listen to folks, it really is, and if you don't do audio books, go and get the book instead, you will not be disappointed at all! The cast are amazing, they captured the feel of the book perfectly. Just wonderful!
Well paced, thoroughly intriguing, and with a whole cast of unreliable witnesses, you are in for a belter of a story!!!

best not to try to resolve the mystery ...
Would you try another book written by Matt Wesolowski or narrated by the narrators?
Yes. The strengths outweighed the weaknesses for me.
Would you be willing to try another book from Matt Wesolowski? Why or why not?
Looks like the same question repeated here.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Added some additional support to characterisation. The stories might well be weaker without these voices.
Was Six Stories worth the listening time?
The sixth story was a disappointment. I suspect that this was almost bound to be the case so long as the writer attempted to resolve the narrative with a solution. Interestingly this is exactly what the fictional blog caster promises not to do.
Any additional comments?
I suggest the author has a second stab at the final chapter but this time avoids the temptation to resolve the mystery. I'd pay to hear an alternative final chapter.

Very different, but possibly a trend setter
I'm not an internet podcast listener so don't know if the premise of this story goes on much but I really enjoyed this. If you don't know its akin to a series of separate interviews of a 'cold case' for listeners to digest. They aren't there to solve a crime and you don't hear from them - just those being interviews and the host. You become the listening fan base to make your own decisions in an old murder case, where new evidence presents itself.
I'm onto the second in the series at present (so the second audiobook 'Hydra' not chapter two in this one), and still think back to this. It's very clever in both the way its written and delivered in the story. How you can go back to what someone said after hearing new information.
Multiple narrators fit the medium well and helps express the story from different and perhaps contrasting or corroborating perspectives.
I hope there are more in the pipeline, as Hydra is currently even better.

An unusual and gripping book
I very much enjoyed this book. I had first tried to read it on the Kindle app, but found it a struggle. The audio version brings the story to life however. There are different narrators for the different characters and the performances are all very good. You can believe you are listening to a podcast, as the book intends.
Six stories is a set of six podcasts about the death of a fifteen year old boy. Each one focusses on a different character though there are others too. I can't say much more as I don't want to give anything away but there is a twist and all the way through I was wanting to know what would be revealed next

this was okay. story was alright but it is supposed to be a "podcast". so hearing it read as an audiobook (ie word for word... no umms ahhs or other natural speach patterns) just highlights how far away from natural speach the dialogue is.

Ghastly.
I purchased this on the back of reviews. I should have been more wary. It seems that some have fallen for the quirky format, which seems to have overshadowed the poor narrative; it was the same , years ago, with 'Cloud Atlas'. This is the second time I've been persuaded by reviews and regretted it because the text I've purchased is tedious.
