The Hound of the Baskervilles [Unabridged] [Audio CD]

Arthur Conan Doyle (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 2003

This is a rich month for audio books. In the Darlington Substitution Scandal David Stuart Davies fleshes out a brief remark made by Sherlock Holmes in A Scandal In Bohemia

The story is read or rather acted with remarkable virtuosity and panache by the author's near namesake, David Ian Davies with credible characters and ingenious plot, and an atmosphere of excitement we are plunged once again into that romantic chamber of the heart, that nostalgic country of the mind, where it is always 1895. What more could we wish for? The CD also includes DSD's story The Reichenbach Secret, a credible interpretation of the Final Problem.

Hound of the Baskervilles is read with great excitement by David Ian Davies. He is a master at making the story come alive. The only bad thing about this CD is that once you start listening to it you cant stop.
Great! Well done!

This review is from: The Hound of the Baskervilles (Audio CD)

The Hound of the Baskervilles was assigned as a high school summer reading selection. We ordered the book on CD, which made the assignment somewhat entertaining and more easily accomplished given the length and tone of the book. The book itself is, of course, a "classic" Sherlock Holmes murder mystery. However, by todays standards, the mystery is rather tame and, in my opinion, the writing style is cumbersome for young people. The CD is delightfuly read/performed and I highly recommend the CD vs. the written text.
