Reviewer: A. Rockett - April 3, 2019 Subject: iPod download This links to the wrong book (to the Return of Sherlock Holmes) |
Reviewer: judah todd - November 28, 2018 Subject: the final problem the reader on number 11 is so good i would love to hear more from him. one of the best readers i have ever heard |
Reviewer: judah - November 27, 2018 Subject: sherlock holmes #11 was so great I loved the reader on number #11sounds like a professional I would love to hear him in many more books |
Reviewer: Tim - October 19, 2018 Subject: Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes Stories were entertaining. Two stories had subpar readers, but only the Final Problem reading was awful on another level. I can only hope that particular person ceased all audio book readings forevermore. That's the only story which I chose to read instead of listen. |
Reviewer: Mary Griffith - August 22, 2018 Subject: Sherlock Holmes Memoirs Great stories! I love how the narrator changes voices with different characters. |
Reviewer: PJsLIfe - May 11, 2018 Subject: #3 and #11 The reader for #3 had an heavy accent but she was a good reader. The reader for #11 - he needs to just read in his normal voice. - His reading is chopping and distracting and slow. Also the constant mouse clicking is nerve racking. #11 needs to be re-recorded |
Reviewer: LOVER OF BOOKS - April 3, 2017 Subject: READING Who's every is reading is doing a good job>keep up the good work!!!!!!!! |
Reviewer: Jon - September 2, 2016 Subject: The Final Problem Almost all of the other readings were top notch until you get to The Final Problem. His reading ability was just not up to par for audiobooks. Not only was he very choppy with his reading and MANY mispronounced words but the voices he tried to make for the characters reminded me of a child at a tea party full of stuffed bears. |
Reviewer: Iris Nichols - December 10, 2015 Subject: Sherlock Holmes Most of the books were wonderfully read. |
Reviewer: lorena - August 27, 2015 Subject: all Great stories, whoever doesn't enjoy someone else reading for them, should then pick the book themselves. |
Reviewer: Reviewer - February 2, 2015 Subject: The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes good one! |
Reviewer: Secret - December 22, 2014 Subject: The Naval treaty Back ground is really bad, you can hear the pages in the background and the chattering of the employees outside. but the story is pretty good |
Reviewer: dg - October 26, 2014 Subject: review The chapter 11 reader was pretty pitiful, but, I have heard lots worse. |
Reviewer: Vince R - July 11, 2014 Subject: The final problem I Just tried to get through number 11 again, haha. Last time it was very frustrating because most of the readers are exceptional. This time, it was actually kind of funny. The amount of words that he mispronounces, his inability to read with any flow and the fact that his impersonation of Sherlock Holmes sounds more like a drunken Davy Jones from the Monkeys make this almost a joke. The only saving grace is that it's free. |
Reviewer: J.Wilson - May 28, 2014 Subject: Sherlock H. I enjoyed almost of the audio books except for Ch #11. He sounds terrible. You would think that they would make ppl audition for the readings b/f they plop just anyone in front of a mic. #3 did have a strong accent, but she was a good reader. |
Reviewer: Vince R - March 14, 2014 Subject: The final problem I have listened to almost every recorded chapter of Sherlock Holmes you provide. I greatly applaud you for all but one. The reader of "The Final Problem" is horrible! The hesitation in his reading is so pronounced the listener loses track of the story. You find yourself being able to visualize his finger dragging from word to word across the page. His concentration appears to be so taxed by trying out bad accents that he has no ability left to read as though a conversation is taking place. The only one I had to turn off as it was ruining the story for me. |
Reviewer: Allen - January 28, 2014 Subject: Review The accent on #3 made it nigh impossible to understand. The staccato narration on #11 was extraordinarily distracting. I would recommend replacing these two with more understandable and enjoyable narrators. |
Reviewer: TG - October 23, 2013 Subject: Review I actually didn't mind reader #11 at all. He was slow and elaborate, he used voices, etc. it didn't bother me at all. The accent was a little tough as people have pointed out for #3 but still this recording of this book is overall good and it's worth listening to them all I believe. |
Reviewer: gln - July 19, 2013 Subject: #11 HORRIBLE #11 is so bad, it's sounded like a teenager getting punished by reading something he's not interested at. Also I had a hard time listening to #3 because of the accent. |
Reviewer: Peter - June 20, 2013 Subject: OMG #3 very bad accent and disfigured words, #11 so horrible, I couldn't figure out if it is a computer-generated voice or a teenager with horrible nasal voice. The rest is good. |
Reviewer: DeeJay - May 21, 2013 Subject: Review Sounds like Stephen Hawking was reading chapter 11. |
Reviewer: Luke - March 29, 2013 Subject: #11 Review The kid that narrates #11 is a horrible reader. Please find someone that can do a better job like the rest of the stories. Other than that, great series. |
Reviewer: Luke - March 27, 2013 Excellent! except that I had to skip #3 due to the narrator's accent. |
Reviewer: Julie - March 19, 2013 Subject: Review Excellent as always my dear Watson! |
