The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Abridged) Audiobook

" Sherlock holmes was a very interesting man indeed to read!?!?!?! "

" I do love an analytical read; it comes from the philosophy major in me. That being said, sometimes the stories are rather too bland for my taste/ The last story in this collection - "the Copper Beeches" - was definitely my favorite, owing to its having a bit more excitement and urgency than its mates. Still, the positive portrayal of the power of human reason is something that is welcome. Itaque, while my response to it is rather indifferent, I am firmly of the opinion that everyone needs to read at least some of Sir Arthur Conan Doyel's classical chronicles of Holmes and Watson. "

" Well, to start with, I am not quite a fan of short stories. I like detailed, long, never-ending stories. Not ones that start as soon as they finish. It's not that the book was not entirely good but the stories, since too short and simple, could almost all be guessed, which was unexpected. Being too short, they sounded almost like the writer was in a hurry to finish them up and make it as short as possible. ._. The suspense and the 'adventure' was mostly missing. As a conclusion, this book is for you if you have nothing better to do in the world and like to read short little simple narratives, really. "

" I feel like a better person after reading some Sherlock Holmes. "

" Okay, so the only Sherlock Holmes book I had read prior to this was The Hound of the Baskervilles which I thoroughly enjoyed. And then my friends got me into the BBC TV show, Sherlock. And...thus my Sherlock obsession (or addiction) started. So obviously, after watching the first episode, I decided I should read the original stories and so I have! I enjoyed all of the stories, and the solutions always seem so simple even though the problem may seem complex. It's really quite fascinating how Sherlock Holmes can make such deductions and get so much out of so little. I would really recommend this to anyone who just loves reading or loves a good short story because that's what you get! :) "

" I always like Sherlock Holmes stories. "

" Another free download to my Kindle. It will take me a few months to finish this volume of 12 "adventures", so really looking forward to it! "

" I absolutely love mysteries and I was thoroughly amused with all of Mr. Holmes' intrigues. Great read! "

" it reminds me of hugo cabret because same style and about the same thing almost to me. "

" Still reading it. It is way different than what I hear on XM radio. "

" An entertaining read. The stories are very short and I was expecting a bit more thrill and action, but once I got over that, I started really enjoying the narrative. "

" Better than I could have imagined! I'm usually skeptical about classics, but I'm so glad I became obsessed with BBC's Sherlock series and picked these up! "

" A series of short mysteries. "

" short stories, good in between book or when we can't stay awake long reading at night. "

" Sherlock Holmes is always awesome, and a throwback to when I was younger. As great as this is, though, I mostly used it as an easy jumpstarter to get myself back into the habit of reading. And what a jumpstart it was! "

" What don't we all love about Sherlock Holmes? "

" Holmes has been a favorite since I was a young teenager. Always entertaining. "

" i enjoy sherlock holmes. I try to read one story between the other novels I read. I do, however, this the BBC's modern adaptation of the characters are far more entertaining. I tend to imbue the original holmes with more of cumberbatch's mannerisms than are actually present in the text. "

" A nice collection of short stories. Well written and rather imaginative. well recommended. "

" An okay adaption of three great Holmes stories, but not the Best unless your Reading skills ain't for the original language - part of the titel is 'adapted for Young readers by....' So one must not expect too many fancy words and details. "

" Can't believe this was written in the late 19th century. The writing style is very modern, and easy to read. I am a sucker for detective stories. They are oddly comforting! "

" Spectacular collection of short stories. "

" Awfully pedestrian by today's standards, I think. Sir Arthur did not keep my attention for too long, although I did enjoy a brief stop in his world. "
