Beh, che dire, dovevo leggere altro ma ho finito questo. Volevo togliermi questo mattoncino dalle scatole. Mattoncino che mi è piaciuto un po' ma non quanto avrei voluto.

Certi racconti erano più belli di altri, tipo il mastino dei Baskerville o la valle della paura o uno studio in rosso. Gli altri sono stati un po' meh. Belli eh, ma meh.

Tutto sommato è stata una buona e bella lettura. Da non rifare però, soprattutto con questo volume così grosso. No, se proprio vorrò rileggere di Sherlock Holmes, prenderò i singoli. Anche perché rileggerei solo quelli che mi son veramente piaciuti!

I adore the Sherlock Holmes canon, and this has to be the preeminent audio edition. It is splendid from start to finish. I can't imagine a better narrator than Stephen Fry, whose mellifluous voice, and deft use of accent and characterization bring every nuance of these classic stories to vibrant life. Early in the set, I was mesmerized by Stephen Fry's adept voice acting, but in the later chapters I heard only Holmes, Watson, and their supporting characters.

My singular critique is that Fry's default "male American" voice appeared with little variation between the stories which called for it, which left a very minor blemish in the veil of believability in the separateness of the characters.

This is a phenomenal achievement, and if …

I'm reading the kindle edition of this book. I doubt there is anyone who hasn't heard of Mr. Holmes yet but it's not wrong to repeat - it's one of the greatest books ever.
There are a lot to love but here are the top three:
i) Hints - there are always enough hints to track the progress but never enough to reveal the suspense. Conan Doyle balances this really well. That's why Sherlock Holmes remains my all time favorite
ii) Cleverness - Seems like the author has a never ending pool of ideas. Story after story there is something or the other that makes you say wow.
iii) English - It's fascinating to see the choice of words and phrases of (not so) old English.
