I find that while still not my favourite Holmes, I liked it better this time around. I think I might have been too young, and found it too dreary and long for my age. Gothic is also an acquired taste that came with age for me, so that might have played a part. The other thing that turned interesti...

Once it got up and running it was highly enjoyable. I am deducting a half a star, though, because I was not all that enthused with the book's narrator, Simon Prebble. I found his voices for Holmes and Watson to be far too similar--especially at the beginning--and I was having trouble keeping up wi...

And thus I am happy to finally ...

Read by Simon Vance (Part of The Complete Sherlock Holmes: The Heirloom Collection) Although I sort of knew the story (from adaptations with varying degrees of fidelity), I hadn’t actually read The Hound of the Baskervilles before this. Because I was reading several other things at the same time...

Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars on Goodreads.For such a short story, it did take a while to get going. We have Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson involved in a case of a mysterious hound that a man (James Mortimer) believes killed his friend Charles Baskervill...
