"Great book. I can't believe I've never read any Sherlock Holmes before! It sort of felt like a Scooby Doo mystery, in which there's a supernatural event with a perfectly reasonable explanation. Although I think Mr. Doyle would be appalled if he knew I compared his book to a children's TV show. But the mystery was intriguing, the setting was eerie, and the characters wonderful. I'd highly recommend! It was a quick read, too."

    " The more Sir Arthur Conan Doyle I read, the more I am impressed with his writing, especially word choice. The mysteries are often not all that mysterious, but they're really good stories! "

    " Rachel was reading this for school, so I read it too. I loved it! And it was fun to howl like a dog to scare her when she was in her dark room trying to fall asleep. I wish I'd "discovered" these fun mystery books when I was young, instead of just reading and rereading Nancy Drew books endlessly. "

    " I like all of the Sherlock Holmes books. I don't think this is my favorite, but I like it. I had read it before and for some reason I couldn't remember "who done it." So on the second read, I paid closer attention but something about this book doesn't stick with me. It's good--just not great. "

    " It was a good story, and Holmes as a character is as intriguing as ever, but the mystery aspect was lacking a bit. It wasn't quite as thrilling as his short stories could be and the end wasn't very exciting. "

    " 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. "

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.
