    The All-Time BEST Sherlock Holmes Audiobook Stories...
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2008*

I'm 25.  I first heard Gielgud and Richardson's "The Speckled Band" back when I was in 6th grade.  I found copies of the Baker Street Dozen stories at my local library, and would constantly check them out, over and over again.  Around 8 or 9 years ago, I bought my own copies in a cassette boxed set, which have since worn out.So I was more than thrilled to see this, the Baker Street Dozen stories on CD, and separated into chapters, at that!  There are websites that have copies of these stories, but they are in terrible quality, or chopped up.  For stories that were first recorded in 1953, they sound like they were recorded yesterday.  I have a bunch of old radio broadcasts on CD, ranging from THE SHADOW to MURDER AT MIDNIGHT and THE GREEN HORNET, and their quality ranges from horrible to fair.  But THIS, my friends, is British radio at its finest; fully dramatized, with music and sound effects that fit right into the story, characters that come to life, and stories that will keep you listening over and over again.It seems everyone in America can't look past the Sherlock Holmes ideal with Basil Rathbone and his rendition of the great detective... nobody really bothers to look or listen to other actors' versions of the character.  Sir John Gielgud is, in my opinion, the greatest portrayer of Holmes. EVER.To wrap this up... if you're a Sherlock Holmes fan, GET THIS.  Trust me, you won't be disappointed.  The acting is superb, the quality is astounding for something that's over 50 years old, and the replay value is higher than high, because these stories are timeless.  The game is afoot, and you should come along...

    A minority preference
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2014*

Had these been the unabridged Sherlock Holmes stories from the pen of Conan Doyleas I once read and treasured them, I would probably have been happy to award this production 4 stars, or even 5. Given however that I belong to that apparently tiny minority of people for whom therichly atmospheric narratives of Conan Doyle were no small part of the pleasure of these stories,I confess myself somewhat disappointed.  Far from being unabridged, these--dramatizations--are not even abridgements in the proper sense of the word. As adaptations for short radio plays- which is all they are- I guess they are not bad.  What I expected was Conan Doyle in audiobook form; what I miss is the considerable amount of Conan Doyle each story left out- the bulk in fact of each masterly unhurried narrative, full of observation and description of character and place and incident- with the really full atmosphere you get in the reading.But with most - yes, most- of this  pared away for the sake of the 20-25 minute radio format- and with too much indifferent interpolation in its place- too little remains of what I for one would require in any audiobook version of Conan Doyle's stories.It is interesting at least to follow these adaptations with book in hand, and to fill in the story as you go, hitting the pause button  as often as needed to let Conan Doyle read you the rest of the tale.

    Good rendition
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014*

This is a "classic" take on the classic tales.  It has amazing 20th century lions doing the acting (Geilgud, Welles, etc.) so you can hardly go wrong.  If you're American you may find the accents a bit dense at times, but they do a great job giving an as-written rendition of A. C. Doyle's work.BTW, my bias is that I'm not crazy about the modern Sherlock Holmes re-dos, even the ones with good actors (like Cumberbatch), because I think they lack authenticity.  Part of what made Holmes so special is that he existed before the advent of technology -- his detective work was based solely on direct observation and deduction, which is what made it so powerful.  Having a team of computer hacks and forensics experts behind you may be modern, but it's not Sherlock Holmes.
