The Hound Mystery

Would you consider the audio edition of The Hound of the Baskervilles to be better than the print version?

It all depends on your circumstances. It is more convenient for me to listen to it.

Any additional comments?

This book is a classic Holmes books. Beautifully written and executed.

Great book old book

I have watched the movie many a time. Read the book. A few times. It seems that I miss something a time or two. But always pick up something new...😁

Quite enjoyable!

This was my first listen here on audible and I must say it was quite enjoyable. John Pethers has a lovely voice on The Hound of the Baskervilles and I look forward to hearing more from this narrator. Love all the older classic detective books.

A wonderful mystery of its time

Well-constructed and with rich characters. Both Holmes and Watson at their best. Pether's narration leaves much to be desired though. Wooden, almost monotonous, with no differentiation in voicing. And he mispronounced a few words. Overall, worth bearing with the narration to read this classic mystery.

Well-narrated and moody

What does John Pether bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mr. Pether has a musical manner of speaking that lends an additional layer of character to this already distinctive tale. This was my first reading by the author, the narrator, and of this tale. All are quite pleasing and comfortable. I hope to read with them again.

Great book, annoying narration.

I love this book, and the narration - an odd mix of British and Singaporean - frankly gets in the way. It’s a shame, with differently pronounced common English words stopping the flow of the narration entirely. Really odd, unique and ultimately pointlessly bad choice by Audible. The book is nevertheless tremendous, a true classic.

Loved it!

I've been a huge fan of the BBC Sherlock Holmes series (with Benedict Cumberbatch) since it began, but I've never actually read the books themselves. This did not disappoint, and I quickly made my second Sherlock Holmes audiobook purchase. It's lovely because there's wit and suspense without too much gore.

Loved the narration

I loved the narration and the story is a classic for a reason. I should have read it or listened to it way sooner.

Held my attention, easy to follow.

Great story. I listened in one sitting during a drive. Narrator was very clear, paced well, but voice of characters simular to each other.

Holmes is always good

Idk that this is my favorite in the long series of Sherlock Holmes but it was very good and I would recommend it to anyone
