Interesting background on Stephen

Stephen has a distinctive sound and style. I was first introduced to Stephen thru the TV Series Bones. I began to enjoy his speech and style. He has a charming wit and underlying humor without being an overt comic... at least in my exposure to him. This interview gives some insights on his readings; specifically Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter. I chuckled when I heard the story about 'pocketed it'; quite amusing. While I have enjoyed listening to Stephen in some of his various endeavors; I now find myself wanting more. Considering I am very partial to female voices; this is unusual for me.... and no... Stephen does not have a female sounding voice to me... grin... I intend to investigate his Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter audio books and perhaps others that he has done, as well.

Love being read to by Stephen Fry!

This interview is like getting a bonus featurette on a DVD. I am so glad to have listened to this prior to hearing my first set of Sherlock Holmes audiobooks read by Stephen. Thank you so much!

Great Interview

The narrator has a great point of view and fascinating stores about his narrative work.

Stephen Fry is great. Interviewer sucked.

Th interviewer seemed like he was just going through the motions and was very dull. Stephen fry was great and had some amazing stories.

Nice to hear from Stephen fry!

I enjoyed his take on Harry Potter before the success of the series.
I'm buying Sherlock Holmes next.

Pleasant advertisement for his sherlock recording

Stephen shares a few fun anecdotes about recording this and other books, making for some enjoyable light listening. Nothing groundbreaking or spectacular.
