Review of 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
These were a lot of fun.
72 hours of casual listening lasted 2 months. Great stories I never would have read. You get to hear people say “the plot thickens” unironically.
Fry’s narration is up there with Jim Dale, who is the only other narrator I’ve listened to for this long. He has a huge range of voices and his diction and delivery conveys the smallest inflections.
The only cons I can think of: There are a few stories that follow a random character for 1hr+ to build on their backstory, and those were pretty tough to get through, especially since they’re never on recurring characters. Fry also has excellent forwards, but gives minor spoilers in them.
