The Punishment of Sherlock Holmes

De: Philip K. Jones, Bob Burr

Narrado por: Keith Spilsbury

A collection of hundreds of Sherlock Holmes puns amassed over decades and stolen from a host of sources. The wordplay may be familiar, but the settings and characters are all original to the sources cited. The puns that have made it into the book are all Sherlockian narratives. Each is a tale describing events featuring Holmes characters, not simply a comment or an observation. We warn traditional Holmes fans up front, you will be annoyed and offended. If you are not, then the authors simply have not found your particular hangup - yet. Pick a number, they will get to you in a later edition.

Funny :D

Fun and entertaining, but I think it’s better to listen to this in small dosis :P Yes, as you are told at the very beginning, you’ll probably find some of these puns offensive, but that’s what always happens with puns. I’m very protective of Watson myself and he has a tendency to become the bottom of hundreds of jokes. And yet, I still really enjoyed this and laughed out loud more than once.
I understand the need to acknowledge the source, but it gets a little tiresome after a while; this is my only real complaint, though.

Puns galore!

An unusual gathering of puns and dad jokes based around our favorite detective. Jones and Burr entertains with a good reading by Spilsbury.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

I laughed, I sighed, and I grimaced at different segments of “The Punishment of Sherlock Holmes” by Philip K Jones and Bob Burr. It was a wonderful compilation of puns and other plays on words in a Holmes setting. The narration by Keith Spilsbury was fantastic. I felt like I was sitting with Holmes and Watson listening to their conversations. This is my honest review after receiving a free audiobook.
