This seems to have been auto translated into a foreign language and then back into English. Unreadable.

Nice change of pace from Sherlock Holmes by same author tho I'm thinking it would probably be best to own this book as part of the entire collection. Good book otherwise and I did like.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Conan Doyle's original?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 26, 2020

This version is, like the Kindle version of "The White Company", written in the stilted English of a machine translation from another language. It is not the original English of Conan Doyle that I remember from reading the print book 55 years ago. This may also be a misrepresentation under the sale of goods act.

5.0 out of 5 stars 聴きやすい朗読
Reviewed in Japan on September 19, 2018

商品はCD 6枚組である。CD 1枚に 26 tracks　前後入っている。聴いてみると、明瞭な発音で比較的ゆっくりの朗読であり、リスニングの教材に使える。またtrack数が比較的多く、細かく区切られているので、勉強しやすい。ebookが付いているからテキストを買う必要もなくお得だ。コナン・ドイルは、シャーロック・ホームズのシリーズが最も有名でそれしかないような印象があるがが、他にもチャレンジャー教授シリーズ、ジェラ－ル准将シリーズも人気がある。このCDはジェラール准将シリーズの一つの朗読。決してマイナーな作為品ではない。秋の夜長、このCDを聴いて、英語の勉強をし、リスニングの練習をしながら、スコッチ・ウィスキーを嗜むのも一興かもしれない。
