A decent assortment of stories

Some of the stories were great, some good, and some merely okay. Some authors were guilty of using “smart words.” That is, (mis) using words, thinking they are smarter ways to express themselves. But as the man said, “you keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it means.” Please, authors, don’t use a word you haven’t looked up in a good dictionary at some point in time.

The narrator did a decent jobs, and did the accents reasonably well. Not TOO many misread or mispronounced words. All in all, a workmanlike reading. Nothing that would make me get a book that he narrated, but nothing that would make me avoid a book, just because he was the narrator.

So this is worth a listen, in my not at all humble opinion.

Great Collection

Great collection of Holmes stories. All of them are of high quality. The performance was very good also.
