Critic reviews

"The cast is perfection: just to listen to John Gielgudwould be pleasure enough, but each cast member is terrific." ( AudioFile)
"It will come as no surprise that Gielgud and Richardson, as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, are as perfect a pairing as are the fictional detective team." ( Publishers Weekly)

The only complaint is that the accents and voices are so soothing that sometimes it put me to sleep, but when I was up doing things and listening, I'd get taken away into the story!

It's like listening to an old radio show! Love it!

I loved how John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson equally portrayed the characters of Sir Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to a "T"!!! Perfect pairing and both complemented each other. Truly believable and I was quite happy with their performance. You'll want to keep listening to this over and over again.

You'll hit replay over and over again!

What disappointed you about Sherlock Holmes?

Nothing. His stories are always wonderful.

Did the narrators do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Everyone played their own characters well.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I wished that someone had take the time to level out the volumes and tones, to make it all consistent. Considering that this is an audio book, it would important to consider that a person might be listening to this with headphones or driving. Both instances make for dangers results when a sudden increase of volume occurs.

Any additional comments?

I hated how the volumes of the character's voices and background noises would fluctuate. One moment I was straining to hear the dialogue, then I would have to quickly lower the volume to keep from being deafened by a scream or sound effect.

I loved the story...just not the technical issues.

I love the Sherlock Holmes series. The stories are well acted and the plots are to die for, no pun intended!

What great fun for a Sherlock Holmes fan! 12 fully dramatized stories done for the BBC starring Sir John Geilgud as Holmes and Sir Ralph Richardson as Watson. Even Orson Welles starred as Moriarty. I enjoyed every minute of it. Done in the classic radio play style with music and sound effects.
