It's kind of hard to write a review for this, considering it's a bind up of various short stories. I do want to say Arthur Conan Doyle is a really great writer, and every time I read his Sherlock Holmes stories, I am very impressed.I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO THE BBC because literally the casting of Benedict Cumberbatch is so flipping spot oh my lord. If you do watch BBC Sherlock, I would 100% recommend you read the original stories because you appreciate the show so much more, andReading the complete Sherlock Holmes canon by Arthur Conan Doyle in these two volumes has been a remarkably rewarding experience. I'm truly sorry to be finished with these stories and novels (although I know from past experience that they reward rereading). In this reading I've gained an even clearer appreciation for the links between Holmes and the traditions of Gothic and science fiction literature, and I've certainly enhanced my enjoyment of the BBC's brilliant new Sherlock series.

Moreover than the actual stories, the superior writing style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is what really draws me to the Sherlock Holmes series. Doyle was an expertly skilled writer, whose attention to detail and ability to weave together tantalizing clues into the solution of a mystery are to be envied. His character development is also exemplary, as there is much to mystify one about Sherlock Holmes; his aversion to women and distance from his family, his lack of friends save one physician who

Cumberbatch-Freeman ReviewThis humorous, dangerous, very British 2010 BBC UK version updated with internet and mobile phones revived my interest in Doyle's classic Victorian murder mysteries promoting early forensics and deductive solutions. Surprisingly, old and new Watson
This was a collection of short stories about how Sherlock Holmes, a famous detective, solved a multitude of mysteries. It is narrated by John Watson, Holmes friend and sidekick. Since this is a collection of shorter stories, Ive chosen to summarize one of the longer and more complex stories: The Tragedy of Birlstone. In this story, Holmes is asked by British detectives to assist them with the murder of Mr. Douglas of Birlstone. The crime scene makes it appear that Douglas was shot in the face by

Sherlock Holmes never tires of being a marvel, and Doyles prose never ceases to entertain. One other thing: Jeremy Brett is my favorite TV Sherlock Holmes, you can pick your own favorite.Every time I pick up this collection of Holmes adventures, I wish that I had picked up Volume I somewhereI cant remember how I acquired this slightly battered copy of Volume II, Im doing my best to take care of it so I can pass it on when I find a young reader who wants it.I wont entertain the conceit of naming
