Fun to read. I think this one is far superior to the earlier books...the plot holds together better, there is less racist language (and yes, I realize that it is a sign of the times, but it is still uncomfortable to read), and the ending resolves very nicely.
I just finished this Librovox audiobook version of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
The story was pretty good, this narrator was pretty terrible. I'm thinking that Sherlock Holmes stories might be kind of overrated. The ones that I've read are all decent, but I haven't found one yet that has blown me away.
My opinion of the Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Homes mysteries is approximately the same as the Agatha Christie mysteries that I've read. Both authors provide entertaining mysteries that a reader can quickly get into and temporarily escape into, but beyond that, they aren't great literature.
I plan to read the entire Sherlock Holmes collection of stories soon, and may update this rating and review at some point.

I thought I had read all the Sherlock Holmes stories, but apparently not. Maybe this one wasn't in my childhood library. At any rate, a satisfying and nostalgic read.
