" I was not sure if I would enjoy this title, but it fit in overall with my goal to read more "classics" this year and the short story medium seems to require less investment that a full blown novel. As it turns out, I ended up being pleasantly surprised. It is true there is not much action if you require that to maintain interest in a book, but this book kept my interest nonetheless as I found myself trying to figure out the solution to a mystery before the end.

" Delicious and fantastic, my first time reading. Will definitely read again. Read the e-book, I would like to get a hardcopy with illustrations. Also, it was nice to picture the pretty people from the new (crap) movies in the old (awesome) stories. "

" It was great revisiting this book. After enjoying the new modern Sherlock Holmes on TV it reminded me how much I enjoyed the books. "

" I loved this book. It is divided up into little stories of Sherlock's cases, each seems to start the same but then you are taken on little adventures of all types. What I loved most is how each little story takes you through Sherlock's investigation but waits until the end of the section to tell you what he found and how he solved the case, you just can't wait to get to the bit where Conan Doyle reveals how sherlock put the pieces together. A real page turner. "

" Entertaining and lovable, as is usually the case with a quality mystery series. Short enough to read one story a night, but entertaining enough to keep you turning the page. "

" I don't usually like short stories but, I quite enjoyed these. I've read The Hound of the Baskervilles and other of his novels, but I think I preferred this book of short stories. "

" I enjoyed the novel. I remember not really liking Sherlock Holmes when reading it in school. I thought he was a pretentious jerk, which I still think is true, but I definitely respect the quality of Doyle's writing and his ability to piece together these mysteries. "

" first of all, I enjoyed this one as a trifling of fun. I found the stories became more predictable as I progressed through the book. spoiler alert: if your father is living off your dowry that isn't from him, there is a good chance he doesn't want you to get married. "

" Who doesn't love Holmes?Like Wuthering Heights, this book is also good in that if you read only the first half, you've already done the best part. The Holmes stories really drop off in quality after Conan Doyle decided to bring him back from the dead for some $$$.
