I really enjoyed this version of The Sign Of Four. Thought the vouce overs of each chacacter was pretty good. I have read and listened to just about everything out there on Sherlock Holmes over the last 55 yrs and still enjoy nice little presentions like this. Thanks to all the readers in the dramatic reading and to Librivox for giving it to us. Give it a listen I think you will like it.

A fresh take on a classic tale

Bravo to this wonderful group of readers! It is no small feat to create such a cohesive end product of so many pieces of performance! And to the listeners who complain of the women reading men's parts, I can only say, Are you even serious!? Listen to individual performances by Laurie Anne Walden, Elizabeth Klett, or Ruth Golding, to name just a few favorites, and you will hear them read each individual character with such nuance of tone and expression that each character comes to life regardless of age, sex, profession or country. Beautifully read and performed!

Alright

Most of the voice actors were female, including those who did the voices for Watson and Holmes. However, they were talented enough to pull it off and make me forget that females were playing male characters. Some of the voice actors were not as talented, particularly near the end of the story. Thanks to all the speakers for providing this free audiobook.

really interesting

That was so cool...and the readers were awesome. They also did a dramatic reading of the Hound of the Baskervilles and I had been wishing they’d do another one and then I stumbled on this reading...I was so happy and it was great except that thing about Holmes and the cocaine so I can’t give it a full five stars.

definitely check it out

Excellent story, and pretty good voice performances. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because much of the final chapter seemed to drag on forever... but great ending. The story had mystery, thrills, romance, and comedy.

very enjoyable!

This was my first lvox listen and I really enjoyed every bit of it. Some voices were too low a volume so I had to rewind and listen to them again but the voices fit really well. Good work!

Bizzare allocation of voice

great story, of course. But why would you have women's voices for men? Weird thing to listen to Watson's gentle female voice. better to have one voice. truly weird. why?

An interesting collaboration of readers. I liked most of them, however, there were a few that didn't fit their character well and read too quickly. But overall, fun to listen to
