Sherlock Holmes

My main reason for borrowing this audiobook is my favoritism of Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch. I was not disappointed in the performance in any way. However it wasn't until I started listening to the stories that I realized these are not written by Asia Conan Doyle.

There are a number of short stories in this two hour presentation, some more engaging than others. They do seem to maintain the character of Sherlock, but I'd say the reading of the book is what carries it.

A couple of the stories were easy enough to figure the mystery out before Holmes reveals what happened. Still, the feel and texture are there and Cumberbatch has a voice that would likely keep folks interested even in reading a cook book.

Getting to listen to Cumberbatch's commanding baritone he has coupled with that posh accent is worth it in of itself. He nails the inflections of every character in each story, stealing the waning attention I had pertaining to the story onto his voice.

It was indeed Sherlock Holmes fan fiction, where I only sort of paid attention to the content of the stories due to my interest burning out real quick, but even while I was mindlessly doing my tasks, I was thoroughly entertained by Cumberbatch's voice.

(I've really got to learn how to focus on audiobooks)
