Loved every minute of Sherlock

The authors language is just beautiful and the narrator, Simon Vance, made a spectacular performance with perfection. I am tempted to listen to the entire 58 hours again and most likely will. Thank you for making such wonderful material so much more accessible.

This performance is perfect.

I really don't know why they bothered to redo this with Stephen Fry, this performance is perfect. Listening to this I can see in my mind Watson, Holmes and everyone they encounter, (whenever I listen to Fry all I can see is Fry). This is definitely the far better version, once you've heard it, this will be Watson's and Holmes' voices in your mind forever more....

Narrator captured Holmes sound & personality

Wonderful. Narrator really captured Holmes personality and way of speaking, which I've tried alot of other audible narrators that I could not listen to because they destroyed it.

Wonderful Book. Excellent Narrator, but....

A brilliant set of story's, mavilously proformed by Simon Vance. My only issue is the arbitrary manner of Audible breaking up the book into manageable download chunks. It wouldn't be a problem at all if they had chosen to break it between novels or even between cases in the short story volumes, but almost all downloads end on a chapter part way through an adventure. It's a minor point but it's still annoying.

Complete Sherlock Holmes - Heirloom collectiom

Have been a fan of Mr Holmes & Dr Watson for many years.
Have hardback and ebook collections.
Needed a decent audiobook of the whole for a long time. Used Librivox for a longtime but the app isn't brilliant and as the readings are mostly free there is a lot that didn't suit my aural standards.
Trawled Audible for a while before settling on this one. I did listen to a few samples, each more than once, including the wonderful Stephen Fry version but once I heard the Simon Vance edition there was no viable alternative.
If I have one whinge about this version it's the fact that each story, including the four novellas, is not accorde it's own natural distinction - for example "A scandal in Bohemia" doesn't appear under that title as the individual stories are concatenated into arbitrary audio chapters. That means you cannot browse Chapters to select a particular story, other than by adding a note or bookmark.
Fairly minor considering the excellence of narration and recording quality.
Highly recommended

Perfect narration of Sherlock Holmes' adventures

I loved this audiobook. Simon Vance was the perfect narrator for Holmes and Watson's adventures. It was such a treat listening to the entire collection and I really recommend this title - great value for money! I will definitely go back and listen to this again at some point.
