"Excellent stories and excellent characters! Why have I not read these before?! They should be a part of some high school or literature course somewhere. Americans really should take more British authors seriously. There are only so many plays of Shakespeare and so many novels of Jane Austen to choke over. I find the title kind of funny though: "The Complete Sherlock Holmes: Volume 1". I would hate to see the size of the book that contained both volumes." — Kara (5 out of 5 stars)

" This was the first book where I actually related to one of the main characters and understood all of their actions. It has been very exciting to read. "
" A singular pleasure. I need to acquire Vol II now. "
" A valuable collection indeed. And in my wishlist is Volume 2. "
" Love Sherlock Holmes. Even in this day and age with all the New Detective shows on television, I still enjoy reading this book. "
" This is a masterpiece. I couldn't think of any other way to put it. It's that simple and yet extraordinary. "
" I love the Sherlock Holmes stories, how he solves mysteries using the littlest details. "
" I can't quite comprehend the fact that it took me a year and three days to finish this book. :| Don't get me wrong, though, it's fascinating. I just forgot about it when we moved. "
" Another classic I have never finished. Looking forward to it! "
" I read these stories just at random!!! I love you Sherlock!!! "
" I tried so hard to read this, but I just couldn't get into it at all :( "
" I made it through most of it... just couldn't finish. "
" I am a little surprised I like the Sherlock Holmes stories as much as I do. I was a little sad when I realized there was only one story left in the book so I have saved it for a rainy day. "
" Reread, of course. Even better than I remembered. "
" It was fascinating that observing carefully can solve a crime. "
" I do love a great Sherlock Holmes story. "
" I can't believe it took my so long to read these. Quite easy reading despite the time period, interesting deductive reasoning-almost a beach read but one that leaves you with no guilt and a strong sense of satisfaction. "
" The original CIS/NCSI and all the other crime stories. Sherlock started it all! "
" Who knew the "real" Sherlock Holmes was a cocaine addict! "
" Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorite characters, probably because the methods he uses to solve his cases all seem so logical. He seems so calm and knows exactly what he's doing. This book is one of my all-time faves. "
" Fell in love with these stories! Such simple fun! "
" The relationship between Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes is taken from The Life of Samuel Johnson, and then used in one of my favorite books of all time, The Name of the Rose. "
" Does anyone remember that Holmes solves all his crimes on speedballs? "
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.
