What the Critics Say
"It's always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore." (The New York Times)
"What's not to like about a Nero Wolfe mystery? The mysteries are short, cleverly plotted, well paced, and, if you're an audiobook listener, wonderfully read by Michael Prichard....Prichard has read nearly 20 books in Stout's series and has mastered Wolfe's deep, meditative voice and Archie's spry, chipper voice, as well as those of a host of other characters we recognize from one recording to the next."

"Great story, poor audio"
I love this story, but the audio is muddy to the point that the narrator seems to lisp. I know Michael Prichard does not have a lisp--it's the sound quality at fault. It's still a very enjoyable part of the Nero Wolfe series, but buy a print version or an audio CD set.

"Excellent story, ok narration"
Great story... Narration takes some getting use to, but after listening to a number of these Rex Stout stories read by Michael Pichard I've gotten use to it and sort of like it. In any case this story is great!

"See Nero Climb – Superior Nero Wolfe"
Some Buried Caesar is one of the better of the uniformly excellent Nero Wolfe series. Although the audio is not totally crisp, I did not experience any muddiness experienced by others and there were no pops and drops I experienced on some of this series. This story shows Nero Wolfe at his most active – climbing, jumping and even going to the fair! Lots of fun, great characters, and an enjoyable mystery. Hard to beat that combination.

"Wolfe is out of his element!"
Any additional comments?I love Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin anytime, but getting to see both of them so far outside of their element is one of the things that makes this one of the stand-outs of the Nero Wolfe novels.
Like most Rex Stout mysteries, this one is engaging and fast paced. The murder is wonderfully composed and gripping, and when Nero Wolfe begins to piece together the evidence that forms his conclusions, I was left smiling at the arrogant voice Rex Stout gives his titular detective.
The characters are colorful and ridiculous in the very best way.
The story is well paced and remains entertaining, though it does drag as it lumbers toward its conclusion.
If I have a complaint, it is that Rex Stout falls back on an old device to resolve the mystery and see that the antagonist gets what is coming to him. I won't spoil it, but if you are familiar with detective stories, you have seen this device employed several times. When it is, I am always left with the feeling that the author didn't really know how to end his story.
Michael Prichard's narration is very Michael Prichard; slow and pointed, but deliberate.0 of 0 people found this review helpful -

Trent Kittleman 12-12-11Trent Kittleman 12-12-11 Member Since 2012I started listening to books in 1992 (Books on Tape rentals) and have continued to do so through today. Going to Audible's immediate download made it so much easier -- as you can see, I have 415 downloaded books -- and another 200 or so in CD's or cassettes. Thank all of you who post reviews. I rely heavily on the reviews to make my selections. (I plan to introduce my granddaughter to audible books in about another year!)
