Summary: It's a spectacular upholding mystery.
Review: Craig Young English 8 November 22, 1998 What I Think

The Hound of the Baskervilles, written by Arthur Conan Doyle, is a spectacular, upholding mystery. The plot was somewhat complex but understandable. A visiting doctor tells Sherlock Holmes, along with an assistant and friend, Dr. Watson, the legend of the Baskervilles. The legend is that each time a member of the Baskerville family walks upon the moor alone, a ghostly hound murders the Baskerville. The moor is a swampy, deserted wasteland located right outside of the Baskerville House. There is only one Baskerville left and Holmes and Watson plans to watch over him and solve the legend of the Baskervilles. Watson stays with Sir Henry Baskerville while Holmes is supposed to stay back in London. He actually stays in an old, abandoned hut behind the Baskerville property. The case is later solved. This story will be very interesting if the reader likes mysteries. Anyone who has curiosity in them will really enjoy this story. The story is made really interesting because it's realistic; therefore, the characters are made believable. Although at some times you would think something paranormal is going on. For example, a hound that is a ghost only appears at night when a Baskerville comes upon the moor alone. In order to want to read this story, you have to be a patient or experienced reader. The plot holds you waiting for something to happen for some parts in the story; however, when you get to the good parts of the story, you would rather read this story than watch your teachers in a food fight!

Summary: This book had a great plot!
Review: I read this book about a year ago, but I just read it last month & every time I read it this book gets better. I like how Sir Arther Canyon Doyle didn't just tell you who the murderer is, he just kind of led up t. And both times I read this book I could not put it down. After reading it the first time he inspired me to read other mysteries. Sir Arther Canyon Doyle must have been a genus to make up a plot like the one in this book. It also must have been hard to make up a story with some fanasy & some mystery.

Summary: Masterpiece mystery
Review: I picked up the book after I became totally possessed of his spirit on a trip to London. A mystery as it is, it is truely a artistic literature, letting one to feel as if he/she is out on a moor in Victorian England, trying to solve the mystery with the greatest fictional character of all time. I absolutely loved it, and read it over again. Since that time I read everything Sir Conan Doyle has written!

Summary: This is the definition of mystery genre. Doyle at his best.
Review: This is the definition of the mystery genre, the best that Doyle has to offer. If you love a good read, a good mystery, a classic tale, get this book. For those who may not want to spend the cash for a hard cover, any of the paper back versions will do. But, the feel and experience of hefting a good hard back while following Watson and his friend, Holmes, should not be missed

Summary: A Great Sherlock Holmes Novel
Review: The novel I read is called "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle. I liked this book because of the characters, how the story developed, and how it was written.
The main characters in the book are Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Together they solve the mystery of who killed Sir Charles Baskerville. I think they make a good team because Sherlock does more of the thinking about evidence and theories and Watson goes out and does the leg work of asking questions and gathering information. Even though Sherlock knows the answer to the mystery, he wouldn't be able to do it without Watson and he doesn't act like the superior of the two.
I also liked the book because it was a mystery so the more I read, the more exciting it got as the killer's identity was revealed. I did not know who the killer was or what his motive was until the end.
Finally, I liked the way the author wrote. When Sir Henry was being chased by the hound, I almost felt like it was after me. He had the characters say things like "By Jove" and "Good Heavens". Also, instead of writing "he said" all the time, it was sometimes written as "said he". Lastly, words would be repeated which I thought made it funny such as: "The brute, the brute", "His wife, His wife", and "A beard, a beard".
In conclusion, I enjoyed this book and agree with those who say that this is one of the best detective stories ever written.
