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