A nice potpourri

As always, these tales vary greatly. But on the whole, they were a fun way to return to 221 Baker Street. I hope there continue to be more volumes.

However, the reader is appalling. It’s bad enough the horrible voice he gives to Dr. Watson, but it turns out he lacks the vocabulary to read books from this time period. He doesn’t know how to pronounce many polysyllabic words, and guesses, badly. For example, the word circuitous is not pronounced like circuit+ous. Similarly, paucity has a soft c. These are just two examples from the final story, but they are far from the only, or most egregious, mispronunciations.

We are taught to sound out loud unfamiliar words, but sometimes you just need to LOOK THEM UP!

Please, don’t let this person read anything further either from the Holmesian era, or for science fiction and fantasy, as both kinds of fiction will have many words which he will butcher.

Great collection of Holmes stories

I enjoyed the anthology of stories in The Strangers Room 3. The stories were written by a variety of authors were all very entertaining. The narration by Charles Featherstone was very good. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.
