Ivan Gutierrez ，

Lecturas extremadamente interesantes。 Algo que me gusta es que no es estrictamente necesario seguir un orden， uno puede leer cualquiera de las historias al azar。El lenguaje no es del todo como el inglés actual， sin embargo resulta ameno。Sin duda， leer un poco de Sherlock Holmes resulta estimulante para cualquiera que aprecie conocer un buen relato。

I really enjoyed the first half or so of the collection but it starts to drag after a bit with a lot of the stories being very similar。 I’d still recommend this book however as they are easy to read and as a fan of the various Sherlock Holmes adaptations on tv/film it was interesting to read the original stories and see the links especially with the modern TV series。

Nicole Aroca ，

Although I did not like the last two books I read about Sherlock Holmes this book I loved was surprising with the variety of cases that Holmes and Watson resolved。

The Valley of Fear is my most favorite of Sherlock Holmes’ stories

Fran ，

Sherlock Holmes is an all time favorite of mine， and despite several others， I don't need to be in a particular mood in order to enjoy him。 Several of the stories in this edition were favorites and others were brand new， so it was a wonderful combination， and balance of the two。 The Copper Beeches read somewhat darker than anything I had ever read by him， and there were equally a large number of Gothic overtones in The Engineer's Thumb as well。 Both stories were new and enjoyable in new ways bec Sherlock Holmes is an all time favorite of mine， and despite several others， I don't need to be in a particular mood in order to enjoy him。 Several of the stories in this edition were favorites and others were brand new， so it was a wonderful combination， and balance of the two。 The Copper Beeches read somewhat darker than anything I had ever read by him， and there were equally a large number of Gothic overtones in The Engineer's Thumb as well。 Both stories were new and enjoyable in new ways because of their dark suspense。 。。。more

The moment I saw this book， I knew I needed to have it！ It was a big book and a long read， but it really got me into the mystery genre！

Doom ，

I literally thought that I was solving all of the mysteries with him that made me so excited when I was reading it。

A great read， very intelligent。 Obviously， the language is somewhat on the older side， but it's a great perspective on the world near the turn of the 20th century。 A great read， very intelligent。 Obviously， the language is somewhat on the older side， but it's a great perspective on the world near the turn of the 20th century。 。。。more

This is a massive book filled with classic tales at their best。 Everyone knows this character but not everyone knows the things that he was addicted to outside of the mysteries。 Many of the stories were built like they could have been comic books， only before comic books were a common thing。 There are stories that are action pack and adventurous and others that are suspenseful and scary。

Bonnie Dale Keck ，

Have read all of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and probably others as well， just never bothered to put them in to amazon or goodreads， so dates wrong。 Some KU some paperback some hardback some collections。 Have read all of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and probably others as well， just never bothered to put them in to amazon or goodreads， so dates wrong。 Some KU some paperback some hardback some collections。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 For years I had wanted to explore the world of Sherlock Holmes but I wanted to do so properly: to start with the first work in the canon （which I learned is the novel， A Study in Scarlet） and to continue chronologically through Watson's accounts of his friend's case work。 One day recently， after finishing my last library book， I found myself in the utter absence of fresh reading material。 Utterly bored， at my wit's end， a thought occurred to me and I raced upstairs， from the living room， to plum For years I had wanted to explore the world of Sherlock Holmes but I wanted to do so properly: to start with the first work in the canon （which I learned is the novel， A Study in Scarlet） and to continue chronologically through Watson's accounts of his friend's case work。 One day recently， after finishing my last library book， I found myself in the utter absence of fresh reading material。 Utterly bored， at my wit's end， a thought occurred to me and I raced upstairs， from the living room， to plumb the shelves of my brother's bookcase: meticulously placed within was a copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes， as also was The Hound of the Baskervilles。 Having carefully deduced that the former recounts earlier events than the latter， I chose to abandon my original plan and to delve into Holmes's adventures， hoping that my blindness to any insights or history detailed in the first adventure I wouldn't prove to be too great a disadvantage。 Thus， after reading another edition of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes， I was all too eager to begin at the beginning with A Study in Scarlet。 Had I read this novel first， I would have been only more enthusiastic about following Holmes in his detection。 The novel is entirely riveting。 I adore the method Conan Doyle employs--（is it accurate to deem it in media res？）--of presenting the case and then using a flashback to fill in the background of the story。 It is ingenious and I would imagine was a novel device at the time of its publication。 Of course， Conan Doyle's style throughout his works is thoroughly readable and entertaining。 More than once have I stopped mid-story to attempt to solve the case for myself。 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has an affable manner of writing， through Watson's writings， which paints a familiar portrait of both men。 One feels as though he knows the two characters like friends as he's reading of their exploits。 The friendship between the two men is endearing and delightful。 This particular edition is wonderful in that all the stories are contained within and in a beautiful binding， so that it is easy to consult past stories for reference。 At the time I borrowed this book， I also borrowed an annotated copy but found myself desirous to read without the interruption of commentary。 A glance through this annotated edition may prove insightful， however， and I intend to look through it after I finish this edition。 It is proving to be a delightful read and one that I can foresee myself enjoying time and again in the future。 。。。more

That pretty， leatherbound cover

Sherlock Holmes: great fictional character？。。。or greatest fictional character？ （Hint: greatest）

The Hound of the Baskervilles was one of the best books that I have ever read。 A Study in Scarlet， not so much--it had this enormous flashback that was admittedly interesting but incredibly disorienting。Sherlock Holmes is really fun to read overall， although the character itself can be somewhat inconsistent--really sympathetic to victims in one story and dismissive in another， disdaining fame yet being famous， for example。I'm probably going to commit some kind of foul by mentioning a TV adaptati The Hound of the Baskervilles was one of the best books that I have ever read。 A Study in Scarlet， not so much--it had this enormous flashback that was admittedly interesting but incredibly disorienting。Sherlock Holmes is really fun to read overall， although the character itself can be somewhat inconsistent--really sympathetic to victims in one story and dismissive in another， disdaining fame yet being famous， for example。I'm probably going to commit some kind of foul by mentioning a TV adaptation but seriously， do not watch BBC Sherlock without reading the stories first。 。。。more

These stories can be formulaic but it is a formula that works。 One of their chief strengths is their brevity。 These adventures are enjoyable because Watson distills the important elements into single-serving morsels without any filler。 A novel-length version of the Red-Headed League would be painful but， as it is， it's amusing。My one complaint is that the details Holmes uses to solve a case are not always described to the reader until he is offering his final explanation， precluding the reader f These stories can be formulaic but it is a formula that works。 One of their chief strengths is their brevity。 These adventures are enjoyable because Watson distills the important elements into single-serving morsels without any filler。 A novel-length version of the Red-Headed League would be painful but， as it is， it's amusing。My one complaint is that the details Holmes uses to solve a case are not always described to the reader until he is offering his final explanation， precluding the reader from working it out on their own。 。。。more

I've enjoyed reading this （and even managed to guess some of the culprits） but it's taken me longer than usual to read so I guess I've not been riveted by it。 Because it's a collection of stories rather than 1 long story I've not got caught up in it like I would normally do as a book progresses。 I've enjoyed reading this （and even managed to guess some of the culprits） but it's taken me longer than usual to read so I guess I've not been riveted by it。 Because it's a collection of stories rather than 1 long story I've not got caught up in it like I would normally do as a book progresses。 。。。more
