Can't get enough of the Hercule Poirot Mysteries? You've probably already experienced Hercule Poirot in book form, DVD version and on television, but here's a fourth method. It is great fun. I just pop one of these disks in my car CD player and my tedious communute to and from work becomes a time of pure enjoyment as I roll along the highway. The Labours Of Hercule Poirot is by far my favorite. As usual, did a great job of processing and mailing me this order in a timely manner. I highly recommend this product.
These are twelve short stories of about half an hour each. Many are split between two CDs. Since they are short stories, the plot and character development is not as extensive as in novels.Hugh does a good job of changing his voice for each character which makes following the story easy.
If you ever watched any of the Poirot tv episodes, you know that Hugh Fraser played Hastings to David Suchet's Poirot. Hugh has recorded the novel "Labours of Hercules" with style and a variety of voices. He does a wonderful job of it, as he did on other Agatha Christie recordings.I have Prime and so received it within 2 days of ordering and have been listening every time I get in the car. Delightful! Much better than most of what is on the radio, and I don't get speeding tickets while tapping out the rhythm of music. Works very well for me.The price was right and the shipping was free...who could ask for anything more?
As a long time fan of all things Agatha Christie, this audio CD seemed the perfect thing for our recent long car ride from Texas to California. I had read the book a long time ago, but these individual stories on a theme - Hercule Poirot's decision to take 12 last cases before retirement, and his naming them after the 12 labours of Hercules make for an enjoyable listening experience - and as they are individual stories, you can stop and start them easily.
The 12 labors is a fun audio presentation. I think it is a creative and illuminating book that presents Hercule in a good light. It occasionally gives insight into his thinking process, which sounds great, but in practice slows everything down. The reader / listener actually wants to be surprised by his thinking process, and then enjoy it afterwards, not during the actual solving. In all the books I've listened to, this is the only one where that happens, so I still recommend it highly.
