"Big disappointment..."
The story seemed disjointed to me. In all fairness to John Gardner I may need to read it in print, as Robin Sach's performance was so monotone that I never finished the book.
Mr. Sach's was so monotone that I was afraid to listen in the car, as I may have fallen asleep driving.
"Monotonous, Charlie Browns Teacher."
No.
I am an avid Sherlock Holmes fan. In that, I wanted to love this book. I couldn't finish it simply because of the voice actor. It was droll and lifeless. But I do not blame Mr. Sachs. It has to be the directors fault.
Yes, that might be better.
