Summary: codys review
Review: My book review was on The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, written by
A. Conan Doyle. This was a fantastic book and I advise people who like mysteries or crimes to read this book. The book was written in First person point of view because you feel like your there as the narrator describes the situation there in. This book is broken up into 3 stories the first one is the red headed league, the 2nd is the adventures of the speckled band, and 3rd is the adventures of the copper breach. They are all great mysteries and Mr. Holmes tries to solve each one of them. Sherlock Holmes is a extraordinary detective he is observant of everything. Like in the book he says quote' I see u came by a cart. Yes sir, but how did u know that Mr. Holmes replies I see the mud splattered on your arm in seven places only carts through mud up like that and you have taken a train to get to your cart for I see the train pass in your pocket.' So as you can see Mr. Holmes is a sneaky detective he is also a static character he never changes thorough out the book. The first part of the story is probably one of the best parts but after all it has to be to draw the readers attention. the 2nd story is a great storie and takes a lot of thinking but it isn't as good as the first one, but the last one Is the best one to rap up the book. This book is a fabulous book to read it makes you more careful of your surroundings and makes you look at people more than you usually. do this book is a wonderful book and I recommend it to all readers. Thank you for your time and I hope you will read this book.

Summary: Wonderful Collection
Review: Sherlock Holmes isn't just for kids. I just finished reading this collection and it was an absolute delight. I wouldn't call it an absolute page-turner or a book you can't put down, but on certain evenings it can be very addictive to just keep reading.

Summary: The Mysterious World of Sherlock Holmes
Review: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a wonderful book for the open minded. It takes you on a journey through London's city streets, throught the houses of pesents and the safes of bank owners. You travel with Holmes on his many cases and travles. Holmes is yet again assisted by his trusty companion Dr. Watson, who has yet to figure out Holmes' mysterious ways of going about his duty. In the novel you can witness Sherlock going about his buisness and try to solve the cases before he does (which rarely happens). But if you have trouble following the genious mind of Mr. Holmes he always explains how he could have possibly figured the case out. He will also express how important it is to pay attention to details. Holmes has the best set of eyes in London and uses them to their full potential in stopping thieves and robbers. As you read you see holmes narrowly escape death while he magnificantly singlehandedly outsmarts all of his opponets. His genious art of mystery is called upon by many people that range all the way from Scotland Yard in need of a priceless jewel to pesents in need of a returned goose. He treats every case with exceptional care. I personly didn't love this book like i love the Harry Potter series but it was still a respectable piece of famous literature. I'll probably continue to read some of Sir Auther Connan Doyal's work, but not anytime soon. Benjamin Boyd

Summary: An obvious mystery
Review: This book was o.k. but the mysteries were too obvious. The author gave it away on the second page of every story. My favorite character was Watson. He never knew what the answer to the mysteries were until Holmes figured it out.I would recommend this book to kids ages seven - nine.

Summary: Early Holmes - Before His Life Fell Apart
Review: This fine collection of mystery stories showcases Sherlock Holmes' early career, when he was in his prime, before the trauma of The Hound of the Baskervilles drove him into the pit of cocaine use. In these adventures we have a robust, healthy detective champing at the bit to solve crimes; after the cocaine demon began its filthy deeds, Holmes became a mere ravaged shell of his former self, tall and emaciated, dependent upon the drug that eventually exhausted his savings and ruined his life, as happened to many Young Urban Professionals in the 1980s. The real problem is Dr. Watson's enablement in the case, he a medical doctor who did nothing to stem his friend's recreational use and subsequent addiction to this insidious drug. (Was Dr. Watson perhaps SELLING cocaine? Was he Holmes' pusher?) Enjoy this book -- and try your best to not think of the coming storm, the drug-induced disaster on the horizon.

Summary: Great Classic Literature
Review: This is a faithful reprinting of the greatest mystery book(s) ever written. It is well written, powerful, captivating, and puts the Hardy Boys to shame. Holmes solves mysteries in a believable (if difficult) fashion that never fails to grip someone from start to finish. The stories are so well written, in fact, that when Sherlock Holmes "died" fans responded by rioting in the streets of London. The Queen insisted that Conan Doyle bring back his famous character, and so here he is. While we might not be willing to riot in the streets if Holmes died today, we can still feel loyalty towards the famous character, and the legacy that Conan Doyle left behind in these books.

Summary: The Original Short Stories
Review: This is the first set of short stories written by Doyle that furthered the adventures of Sherlock Holmes beyond the first two novels. This volume has many of the greatest Holmes shorts: "The Red Headed League", "The Five Orange Pips", "A Case of Identity" and others. Also, there are stories in this volume where Sherlock gets beaten! Yes, he doesn't solve the crime! A must-read indeed.
