The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a fantastic book. Having amazing description I can paint a very detailed picture in my mind. Although it may have short stories in it, these are stories that have had a lot of thought put in to them. I can tell this by how amazing Sherlock Holmes is able to figure out his cases. He focuses on ever little detail to figure the most difficult cases. It's especially amazing how he figures it out so quickly. Hearing this it may seem as if it is impossible, but when you read the book, in the end, when Holmes tells the other characters how he figured out this case, he explains it so well that it is quite believable. This book is so great that I can't even explain the amount of talent was used to make these stories possible.
Although this book was a wonderful book, it also had some down sides to it. When reading this book, in the beginning of each story, the author went a little too quickly in to the case so the reader doesn't understand what's going on until the middle of the story. But to make up for his rushed start the author explains the case with much detail and informing the reader on every little detail about the case. All in all, The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a very good book that I would recommend to anybody that likes mysteries, even if it does have some down sides.

This was a pretty good book. It was kinda boring for a long time but if you get into it it's not that bad.The lanuge they use in the book(old english)can get really annoying. Sometimes it is really hard to understand. Overall it was a pretty good book, but it was log and sometimes really boring.I recomend this book to people who have alot of time to read, its long and hard to understand.

When my son and husband chose The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes for our monthly book discussion, I was certain I'd be bored senseless but figured it was only fair that they choose some of the titles, too. Far from bored, however, I actually loved the droll accounts of Sherlock's sleuthing talents. In fact, as I read, I could "hear" a radio broadcast of the stories in my head. As it turns out, recordings of the mysteries are available, as are films of the adventures. It will be interesting to see how these compare to the version in my head.
If you are sharing these stories with young readers, you may want to read the very first story aloud. This proved helpful to my son, who initially had a little trouble "getting into" the rhythm of the narrative. After "The Solitary Cyclist," however, he was happily on his own. He is now tackling a two-volume collection of Doyle's mysteries.

This book is great. Although there are two other books like this one, I prefer this one the best. My favorite mystery in it is "The Red Headed League." An honorable mention is "The Engineer's Thumb." You won't regret buying this book, so... go ahead!
