The End of the Whole Mess- read by Matthew Broderick -- first hearing Broderick's voice takes me back to the 80's and War Games, a happy time :-). I liked this story as told by someone partially responsible for the End of the Whole Mess. Reminds me of the same theme in Jurassic Park, just because we can doesn't mean we should -- and the consequences that come with that decision.
The Doctor's Case - read by Tim Curry - as I mentioned in another review, I could listen to Tim Curry read the dictionary...so it was a pleasure to listen to this Sherlock Holmes story. I have not read any ACTUAL Sherlock Holmes stories, only those written by folks other than Arthur Conan Doyle, perhaps I should remedy this, as I enjoyed this story quite a lot.
The Moving Finger - read by Eve Beglarian - DISTURBING. I loved this story (mostly because of how it ended) -- The ending is what made this story so creepy -- it just ends...you are not really sure if our hero saw what he saw or is just crazy...but there are clues to lend to the truth that he is not crazy...
Home Delivery - read by Stephen King - NEVER underestimate a pregnant woman. This story was a little sad, but also good. Another end of the world story, this time it is not our fault though...damn aliens.

One of my thrift store finds was a brand new unopened audiobook of Stephen King stories called "The End of the Whole Mess and Other Stories". These short stories were originally in "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" and include "The End of the Whole Mess" read by Matthew Broderick, "The Doctor's Case", a Sherlock Holmes story read by Tim Curry, "The Moving Finger" read by Eve Beglarian and finally "Home Delivery" read by Stephen King himself. I am a huge fan of Stephen King and love his writing. It was a joy to hear these stories read by famous people and I especially love hearing Stephen read his own stories. A wonderful collection of classic Stephen King stories.
