Reviews
The book is great, the reader’s accent is not so much
I
Had difficulties with reader’s pronunciation. Oo instead of short o (Hoomes instead of Holmes), w instead of r (whiter instead of writer). On the other hand had fun training my speech-recognizing skills. Otherwise all is great.
Very informative book.

Each lecture of this book by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr was beautifully read by Thomas Burton.
