Simply classic 🤩I have to admit that initially it was hard to adjust to the style and also the several plots。 The stories， in my opinion， are not as mysterious and as captivating as one might be used to from modern novels， but they all have character。 Overall I am eager to immerse myself more into the world of Holmes and Watson！ 😊

This was a great book but for some reason， boring。 I didn't hate it but I couldn't find the 'want' to read。 These mysteries seemed very thought through and I really liked the end of every mystery: you found out what actually happened and Sherlock was never really wrong！ I do feel it was written in quite old language （using words like seven-and-thirty instead of thirty-seven） but I did understand what most meant。 And if I didn't here was always the glossary to help me at the end of the book。 Anot This was a great book but for some reason， boring。 I didn't hate it but I couldn't find the 'want' to read。 These mysteries seemed very thought through and I really liked the end of every mystery: you found out what actually happened and Sherlock was never really wrong！ I do feel it was written in quite old language （using words like seven-and-thirty instead of thirty-seven） but I did understand what most meant。 And if I didn't here was always the glossary to help me at the end of the book。 Another positive thing is the description。 So detailed and I managed to picture whatever was being described。 Thanks for the adventure Doyle， John and， of course， Sherlock。 。。。more

Calling all murder mysteries fans！！ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s murder mysteries are amazing！ Like， seriously amazing stories。 I would recommend all of his books for girls older than fifteen unless you know your daughters can handle murder。 They all are a bit scary， and some of Sherlock’s thought processes are a bit dark。 I'm a girl who has to pace myself when reading murder books。 If I read too much murder， I tend to get disturbing dreams。 However， I totally recommend getting these books for your Calling all murder mysteries fans！！ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s murder mysteries are amazing！ Like， seriously amazing stories。 I would recommend all of his books for girls older than fifteen unless you know your daughters can handle murder。 They all are a bit scary， and some of Sherlock’s thought processes are a bit dark。 I'm a girl who has to pace myself when reading murder books。 If I read too much murder， I tend to get disturbing dreams。 However， I totally recommend getting these books for your girls because they are fun and will keep them hooked on for hours。 ••These books are not novels， they are short stories that have no correlating narrative compiled into several books。 It is a lot like watching a Sherlock Holmes T。V。 show through a book。 If there are novels， do let me know！ 。。。more

I can't give less than four stars to Sherlock。 A description at the beginning of this anthology says it is for teenage boys。 Why teenage？ Why boys？ Ah Penguin Classics you are so short-sighted。 Good thing Sherlock isn't。 Now pick eight stories that are for girls。 Go。 I can't give less than four stars to Sherlock。 A description at the beginning of this anthology says it is for teenage boys。 Why teenage？ Why boys？ Ah Penguin Classics you are so short-sighted。 Good thing Sherlock isn't。 Now pick eight stories that are for girls。 Go。 。。。more

Extremely delightful to read even though a few of the short stories don’t quite hit the amazing mark。 Compared to another anthology I’ve read of Sherlock Holmes， these seemed a bit less clever， but overall it was still fun reading them。

A fun classic to listen to。 I appreciated it more realizing that the detective mystery genre was started with this。 Sometimes reading classics like this， you don't always recognize that this was the first， and that is partly why it was a classic。 A fun classic to listen to。 I appreciated it more realizing that the detective mystery genre was started with this。 Sometimes reading classics like this， you don't always recognize that this was the first， and that is partly why it was a classic。 。。。more

Exactly as you’d expect of Sherlock。 But a few of the stories didn’t give nearly any of the clues that would let the reader figure out the mystery beforehand 。。。

first time that I read for sherlock holmes。 it requires concentration but I have found that most of the cases could be figured out right before the end and the rest you have to wait for the missing clue that he didn't give earlier in his stories。 will I read more of his adventures latter？ defenitly yes will do。 first time that I read for sherlock holmes。 it requires concentration but I have found that most of the cases could be figured out right before the end and the rest you have to wait for the missing clue that he didn't give earlier in his stories。 will I read more of his adventures latter？ defenitly yes will do。 。。。more

Overall the stories were interesting， intriguing， suspenseful and complicated， which I enjoyed。 But it was disappointing that most of the stories did not give the reader the clues necessary to solve the case on their own。The Solitary Cyclist: 2 stars。 It was okay， but the outcome could have been a little less predictable and a little more interesting。Charles Augustus Milverton: 4 stars。 I really liked it。 It was so action-packed and suspenseful and intriguing。 I loved how they snuck into his hou Overall the stories were interesting， intriguing， suspenseful and complicated， which I enjoyed。 But it was disappointing that most of the stories did not give the reader the clues necessary to solve the case on their own。The Solitary Cyclist: 2 stars。 It was okay， but the outcome could have been a little less predictable and a little more interesting。Charles Augustus Milverton: 4 stars。 I really liked it。 It was so action-packed and suspenseful and intriguing。 I loved how they snuck into his house and had to hide behind the curtains when he came into the room。 It totally stressed me out！ And Milverton was a tough character。 It was cool to see someone who was a match for Holmes。Black Peter: 3 stars。 I liked the little plot twists and how developed the story and characters were despite it only being about a 30 page story。 The Golden Pince-Nez: 3 stars。 I liked that the mystery had enough factors to it that my mind could run wild with theories of who might have committed the crime and why and how。 The actual outcome ended up being completely unpredictable which hasn't been uncommon with these short stories but sometimes tended to be a little frustrating for readers like me who want to try and solve the crime ourselves。 I did love the ending， though。 So dramatic！The Priory School: 4 stars。 It was interesting and complicated and allowed the reader to come up with so many theories （one of mine ended up being half-right）。 There were so many elements and characters which I liked。 There was a little suspense because if felt like you couldn't trust anyone。 It only lost a star because （view spoiler）[that poor German schoolmaster never got justice after his murder。 （hide spoiler）]The Beryl Coronet: 3 stars。 It wasn't very suspenseful or anything， but there were enough clues that allowed me to half figure out who the guilty party was， so I did like that。The Engineer's Thumb: 4 stars。 It was a riveting and captivating story that kept me on the edge of my seat。 Would've been 5 stars if Holmes had caught the criminals。 It seemed ridiculous that they didn't find out anything at all。 Zero closure。 But the engineer's story about how the woman warned him， and how he almost died in the machine， and all of that was so scary and exciting to read about。 It would make a good movie。The Red-Headed League: 2 stars。 The ending saved it， it made it an interesting story because of it， but actually reading the story itself was pretty boring。Average rating: 3。125 stars 。。。more

Interesting， creative， imaginative， detailed， and fun to read。 Definitely keeps the interest and has you turning pages to see what's gonna happen next。 Colorful characters， curious mysteries， fun antics and bantering， and simple yet complex answers。 Can you figure it out before the end？ ;） Enjoyable to read and contains a few shorter stories so it's not too much at once。 Great for the youngsters and adults alike。 Totally Enjoy！ Interesting， creative， imaginative， detailed， and fun to read。 Definitely keeps the interest and has you turning pages to see what's gonna happen next。 Colorful characters， curious mysteries， fun antics and bantering， and simple yet complex answers。 Can you figure it out before the end？ ;） Enjoyable to read and contains a few shorter stories so it's not too much at once。 Great for the youngsters and adults alike。 Totally Enjoy！ 。。。more

The mystery book， The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes， by Arthur Conan Doyle， is a story about a doctor and a detective who live in London。 Sherlock Holmes is a private investigator who helps random citizens when the Scotland Yard cannot solve the case。 By his side throughout the book is the trusty Dr。 Watson。 Mr。 Holmes is a very smart man who can solve almost any crime in a matter of days。 He uses common sense， witt， and his gut feelings。 Dr。 Watson is Sherlock Holmes righthand man。 He The mystery book， The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes， by Arthur Conan Doyle， is a story about a doctor and a detective who live in London。 Sherlock Holmes is a private investigator who helps random citizens when the Scotland Yard cannot solve the case。 By his side throughout the book is the trusty Dr。 Watson。 Mr。 Holmes is a very smart man who can solve almost any crime in a matter of days。 He uses common sense， witt， and his gut feelings。 Dr。 Watson is Sherlock Holmes righthand man。 He is scientifically smart and still always seems to be fascinated by Mr。 Holmes ability to come to the correct conclusion。 The book is a very interesting story with well thought out reasoning behind why he does some of the things that may seem crazy or uncalled for， but are ways he solves the mysteries。 It sucks you in and you don’t want put it down。 I liked that it had action segments， but also had intellectual thinking。 Some parts of the story felt fake and unrealistic， but most of it had realism to it。 Something I would have liked to have read was Dr。 Watsons character develop as the story went。 In example， he only figures things out at the end of each case。 I would have liked to see him solve some details on his own。 I like how it is written with the same outlay as a tv show。 You hear about the crime and then they solve the mystery。 The theme of this book is， you can never be too careful。 。。。more
