Download Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Resident Patient Audiobook

" The best Sherlock Holmes story since a Study in Scarlet "

" Just reread this classic as if for first time (because I don't remember reading it before). I loved the first 90% of the book. Simple & suspenseful. But the last 10% - recounting how the mystery was solved, was slow and repetitive. "

" Surprisingly fresh - both from the personal perspective, as I had read it as teenager (albeit in German), and for the fact that it is a classic that has inspired countless spin-offs, imitations, movie scenes, etc....Sure enough, some of the suspense is taken out by faintly remembering the ending, however that indeed allowed me to pay particular attention to how Doyle weaves his own net (like the botanist or Holmes himself) by only feeding as little information to the reader as is absolutely necessary to have them start thinking without giving them a chance to totally figuring it out. Fairly light, yet still enjoyable reading. "

" I listend to this book while doing stuff around my apartment and it was a nice book for that. The story might not be the most engaging, but listening to it while doing something with my hands was a nice experience. "

" Of all the Holmes stories.... this one is the best. Read it over thirty years ago and still have the occasional flash-back when I hear a deep, mournful howl. "

" Much better than A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four. "

" Good read, not sure it should be considered the greatest mystery novel ever though... "

" Doyle e Sherlock unici ed impressionanti, come sempre. "

" Wow what a great read! This was the first sherlock holmes story I have read and now I see what the fuss is all about. Doyle is an amazing writer and I can't wait to read all the other holmes stories. "

" Another masterpiece by the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Every word had suspense written all over it.And the climax, typical Sherlock Holmes!! "

" Read it before. Doyle -- for all the pomposity of the set ups and dialogue -- makes crime fiction happen usually with a cracking narrative to keep you engaged. With a savage dog -- THE savagest dog -- what more could you ask? "

" It had a good plot and although somehow I still found it a little boring in the middle. "

" Very good, first Sherlock Holmes I've read. Should have read years ago. "

" what's the big deal? sherlock sux "

" A well written classic detective story. "

" The Hound of the Baskervilles was written in old English. It has a good plot, but it is hard to follow. It is somewhat slow, and the mystery doesn't really begin to unfold until the very end. "

" Read while in high school "

" Loved it! One of Doyle's best stories, in my opinion. The suspense was killing me, but it was worth it! "

" Undoubtedly, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle put a great effort thinking ways of making Holmes a very interesting character. However, what I like the most is that the actual movies help you out to imagine the perfect Sherlock of all times. "

" I expected more for this book , many friends of mine tell me that it is the best Sherlock Holmes's book. It's really easy to guess the end of the story. I don't know if this book is a creepy or if I just don't like Shelock Holmes anymore. "
