"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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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? "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

About Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
