They are so Realistic

Revisado: 12-07-18

After listening to this long "book" it is hard not to believe the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson was never real individuals.I have to keep telling myself that its fiction.

It is worth a listen. Please make a plan and make time to listen to this collection of stories and books. Take a note that there are some stories related by Sherlock Holmes himself.

Stephen Fry's narration of the "book" is brilliant he provides a depth and colour to the characters of Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes.

Torture and the Law

Revisado: 12-25-12

Get out the popcorn! This is a real action book from the start to the end. I like Rat’s lawyer he reminds me of Perry Mason. Rat is a real American hero. The plot becomes obvious as you listen to the book. You do not lose interest in it because you want to find how the crises will be solved. Yet the book probes an interesting question about torture. That makes you approve or question Rats actions and motives. So I think the writer James W Huston does a good job of this. I think it is worth its credit.

The narrator does a fairly good job and is the right person for the book. After listening to audiobook’s for some time, I have come to appreciate that narrators are book specific, meaning that narrator must match the book. I think Christopher Lane captures the essence of the book and the characters. Enjoy the silent Popcorn!

Take the journey.........

Revisado: 10-23-11

This book I enjoyed! David Horovitch does a brilliant narration; there are dialogues between characters that are deep and very emotional. This book will move you emotionally. In the beginning you think why am listening to this, where it is going. But give it time, it will unfold it to something beautiful. The journey with Levin and Anna is worth taking. It will be one of the books you will always remember. The only problem is what to get after this because the standard is set very high. I was worried about the length. Believe me time will not matter and you will think Tolstoy is an excellent writer with deep insight.

Now you "see" now don't

Revisado: 07-12-09

I like the book. You may think you now the plot and so on, but there will be surprises along the way. Good development of the main character. I think that Peter Giles did a great job, the right one for this book, but don't expect dramatics, his way of doing the reading works for the story.
