Everything about this is just fantastic, good English accent clear and just perfect, thanks for this.

I love everything about this. The subtle distinction between characters without caricature or stereotype. Expressiveness without overdramatization. The perfect diction, lovely accent, and seemingly effortless slipping in and out of different character's accents. It's just perfect. I've listened to about half of the stories so far.

The Authors very last words by Holmes: "What is the meaning of it Watson? What object is served by this circle of misery, and violence, and fear. It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance, which is unthinkable; but what end? There is the great standing perennial problem, to which human reason as is far from an answer as ever...." Punctuation is my own, please forgive me if needful 🤭

DAMN YOU SIR...This is the forth time that I've had to take the story back to but 10 minutes in due to your sweet lullaby voice soothing me to dreams which are so sweet. I'M DETERMINED TO GET TO THE END. What a wonderful delivery at every moment of your take on this 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 you sir are a CHAMPION and I'm definitely subscribing to you, heck I'm even going to listen again to stories already told by other's but if only to hear your spin on it which is just exquisitely executed.

Brilliant. The last statement, Holmes' questioning response, and the narration. You are too good! Thanks again.

Greetings from Florida. What can I say that hasn't already been expressed in other comments. Masterful comes to mind. As one young lady below stated - your voice stays with the listener. I believe we should all share our gifts - so thank you for doing just that.

Listening to you reminds me of my late grandmother. She was born in Kensington and held her accent from listening to her own mother speak. Of course the pitch is different, but the intonations are there. Wonderfully done.

This was such a good one! I didn’t want it to end. I wanted to stay in this world a little longer and find out what happened to the characters.

Who is disliking this?? Ive been listening to these beautifully delivered stories for a few months, you have re-sparked my interest in these wonderful tales. Thank you, these are by far the best Sherlock audiobooks on KZread. Great job Greg!

I like how Doyle acknowledges Poe's detective in the Murders at the rue morgue.

Hi, your capacity for such different character voices is amazing. In addition to being so distinct, as you read the words in character you literally flesh out each personality. Kudos for your talents.

Such a fan of the original Holmes stories, as well as Paget's illustrations

I love listening to the stories narrated so animately by Gregg Wagland. I'll always picture Sherlock in my imagination through this narration although im looking forward to Downey Jr and jude Law's new version this year 2024. Thanks Greg for bringing it alive !

Excellent reading, thank you!

This was as delightful as ever. Bravo, Mr. Wagland. I enjoyed this very much and I thank you. I have a theory about the ridiculous number of dislikes. I wouldn't take it to heart if I were you. We can surmise that there has been some increase in views (or person's listening, as it were) as your channel has become better known. Seemingly, that has brought in new people for whom Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is only a strange name they've seen flash by on television with the addendum of the words "characters in this *film* were inspired by the works of". That is to say, many people who have never actually held a volume written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, let alone having opened and... gasp!...read one. They see the name "Sherlock Holmes" in the title of the video, click, and expect a live action film with Hollywood stars and not an exceptionally fine audio recording of one of the delightfully written stories, the more fools they.

I really love your readings and Sir Doyle's writings!!! I wish you could also read other books

Love, love, loved it! you must strive to focus on the high amount of people that liked this and for get the ones that don't. They are fewer and remember, There is always something people (especially certain people...unhappy, spoiled people, lol) that would like to complain about. This is perfect. Thank you for sharing this for myself and others to enjoy! I need my Sherlock Holmes ever so often. I am so busy and getting to listen to it as I work is absolutely amazing.

Mr. Wagland has set the bar very high indeed. I listened to a Jules Verne reading of A JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH read by several narrators I found myself judging these readers very harshly lol.

Just listened again - this one shows Greg's command of accents and characterisations.

Very good narration. Great pronunciation, stress on the right words at the right time. Good job!

Your voice is extraordinary sir, it stays with me far after the end of the book. Thank you very much for sharing your gift with us. 🎉👏🏻

Thanks Greg Wagland. It's a pleasure to read Sherlock Holmes in your voice.💯🌹 Thoughts about this sad story... This mysterious circle is the result of an equation. Pity Jim Browner... but he's also responsible for losing his temper... He was good enough to change his job and his place of residence for his wife.. and quit drinking. İf they (Sarah and Jim ) sat separately, probably none of this would have happened. Jim should not have let Sarah stay in the house once he knew her intentions. At least he could have told Mary what had happened. Though Sarah could have gotten out of it with lies. Mary, like Jim, could honorably refuse Alfred. But we don't know what Sarah told Mary about Jim. Sarah is to blame for everything, but Jim and Mary have also succumbed to their feelings and emotions. Married people make promises to each other. They should have trusted each other. At least they could have talked. All of This circle of misery and violence and fear is test. And everyone knows that teachers do not help students during exams. Allah is merciful and compassionate.

Would so love to hear these read by you. Many thanks.

This is one of the most significant stories in that it is a crushing critique of society & its ridiculous demands for, even way back then, “politically correct” behaviour, as well as of the damage done, by degrees, according to the individual’s obedience to or defiance of these rigid rules... seen in the enlightened perspective of character, ofc. A brilliant, scathing double-headed condemnation, then. Thank you, Gary, for a totally credible & clear reading of it. 👏👏👏
