Publisher Description

In The Final Problem, perhaps the greatest of the short stories of Sherlock Holmes, the English detective encounters his most formidable rival, Professor Moriarty. 'The Napoleon of Crime' is how Holmes describes his adversary to his faithful companion, Dr Watson, as they move to the ultimate confrontation at the Reichenbach Falls.

"I enjoyed reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes because it contained so many cases in one book. I found myself really engaged trying to figure out if I could solve the mystery before Holmes reveals it all. We learn a lot about Holmes in this book. His family, the cases that beat him, and an introduction to his evil intellectual equal: Moriarty. I was happy to read some clever writing after reading some flops in the past few weeks. Great set of books, great classic characters, overall solid read."

    " Based on the 'classic' status of the Sherlock Holmes stories, I guess I was expecting more from this. Not a bad read by any means, but I thought it would have been better. "

    " This was a fun book and not as slow a read as I always thought Sherlock would be. I haven't read short stories in awhile and it was nice to be able to have a stopping point when I needed to get back to real life. I really enjoyed it! "

    " I didn't think I would, but I throughly enjoy this book! Just because it is old doesn't mean that it isn't adventure and mystery packed. It's a classic for a reason. You should read this book! "

    " I liked it! It's almost four star for me. It was engaging enough and well written and like able characters. But I often saw the ends coming. I didn't know whether to feel proud of myself for "seeing through" a Sherlock caliber mystery, or a little let down. Definitely motivated me to go read the longer novels next! "

    " Overall, it is a consistent collection of short stories that play off each well. However, the dialog is what makes the stories stand out. Whatever you may think of the case, the exchanges between Watson and Sherlock are always golden. "

    " I didn't read this exact book, I read a collection of many of the books. Took me from Jan to Mar to read them. I still don't think the collection I have had all the books, I'll dig around to find out. "

    " Reading them straight through is a little rough and boring because each of the stories follow the same format, but if you take your time going through each one, they're highly entertaining. Nice, light read. Perfect for a bus or tube ride. "

    " These are pretty sweet. I did not realize that Holmes was such a rockstar in the books. My only beef is that after 3 to 5 tales, you start to see the formula and it starts to get a little Law and Order or more precisely, Encyclopedia Brown. Still badass and still worth the read though. "

    " I read this ages ago...when I was but an egg. But Sherlock stands to time and Doyle has a very interesting way into a story. But you should read the Hound of the Baskervilles first. That first chapter is all you will ever need to know about critical thinking. "

    " Fun to read and fun to compare to the current PBS series "Sherlock". Any body of work that remains popular for so many years and influences so many new works must be the work of a genius. "

    " Wonderful! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is really and truly a master of mystery. However, there were only about 1 or 2 unmemorable stories amongst the 12. Otherwise, Conan Doyle has kept me enthralled, and the characters of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are stunningly written. "

    " Pretty good novel, it was one of those classics I always meant to get around and read. The only drawback is that as a reader you aren't always presented with sufficient information to solve the mystery that Sherlock Holmes encounters but otherwise it is a great read. "

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.
