Book Reviews of Sherlock Holmes Audio Collection
Book Review: Basil Rathbone is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
When this item arrived, I was disappointed because they sent me the abridged version and it only had four stories instead of five. But I decided to give it a chance and I found that Basil Rathbone narrates Sherlock Holmes as good as he portrayed him on the radio or other recorded media such as "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," which is now on Compact Disc, with the exception of the final four episodes in the series. (But I believe they will get those on CD soon.)
As to this narration itself, I felt that Mr. Rathbone set out to speak as John H. Watson, M.D. in the fashion he was so used to hearing, that of Nigel Bruce's interpretation of the character. There are times (and I don't know if it is him or the audio cassette) but Basil Rathbone sounds more like Nigel Bruce's Dr. Watson than Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes. I enjoyed the tape trememdously and would even recommend the abridged version to someone who is a fan of Sherlock Holmes and/or Basil Rathbone.
So I do give this narration five stars with no hesitation. My only regret is that Rathbone didn't narrate more Sherlock Holmes stories.
