" Re-read these this past weekend because we are doing both for Book Day 2013 in April and I forgot how much I love Sherlock Holmes as a character even if he is a cocky jerk at times! "

" I read some Sherlock Holmes stories way back in jr. high and really enjoyed them. I was a little worried about reading more, for fear I would no longer like the style. However, I was relieved to find I still enjoyed the mystery and Sherlock's quirky personality. Definitly worth reading, though the short stories might be a better place to start for some. "

" My least favourite Holmes works. The novel is not a format this character does well in-excepting The Hound of the Baskervilles, an absolute masterpiece. "

" So very interesting, I can't put the series down! Though I would like it to be set up in a way in which I could try to keep up with the clues and Holmes, there is a reason why everyone knows about Sherlock Holmes, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the read. "

" These were fun to read. They are so NOT politically correct that it's just funny. And Holmes casual use of drugs was hilarious (or I guess the way it is presented is hilarious). Anyway, fun, but the ends get a little long and redundant. "

" Great book because it introduces Holmes and the eternal partnership between him and Watson. Our first impression of the detective is intense, and he continues to develop into the classic character he is with each new short story. "

" These are not perfect books, far from it. The stories are good, sensational pulp, but all is forgiven for the invention of Sherlock Holmes. I can't say why this character is so absorbing and compelling, but all 5 stars are just for him. "

" Leuk om weer eens te lezen! lekker melodramatisch en alles met het Grote Gebaar. Het casual racisme ligt er weer heerlijk dik bovenop en vrouwen ziten vooral andere vrouwen te troosten terwijl ze bijna flauwvallen. Prettig fout! Oh, en briljant. "

" I read this one after seeing "A Study in Pink" on PBS (the modern Sherlock Holmes). It was fun to see how closely the adaptation is to the book. Completely different stories, but with many details in common between the two.

" Not the typical Sherlock Holmes book that I was in the mood for. It was kinda neat to see Sherlock as a rookie and Dr. Watson as a newly returned veteran.

" The Victorians meet the Mormons. Must confess that Conan Doyle's lengthy detour into Utah was not what I expected. But it was a compelling story, and it made the ending more enjoyable.

" I loved this so much!
I mean, I've always loved Sherlock Holmes, but to finally know how he and his faithful partner met is incredible.
I think the case was indeed mysterious, with lots of backstory.

" Amazing book! Most (all?) of the other Sherlock Holmes books take place totally in Great Britain. This one makes a *very* interesting side trip to the United States.
