I have been on a Sherlock Holmes spree for the past couple of weeks. I have watched probably 10 movies and am in the process of reading every story that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Holmes. While Holmes (almost) always solves his case, the stories never seem to grow monotonous. Sir Art...
There aren't a lot of characters in literature that eclipse Sherlock Holmes. I mean, what a beautifully pretentious and confident guy! A prime example:WATSON SEEKING HOLMES' APPROVAL OF HIS POWERS OF DEDUCTION:'Has anything escaped me?' I asked with some self-importance. 'I trust that there is nothi...
_The Hound of the Baskervilles_ is probably one of the more famous cases of Sherlock Holmes and is also one of only four novel-length treatments of the cases of the great detective. It’s a solid story and is perhaps primarily of interest in the apparently supernatural element which lies at the heart...
I really didn't expect to like this quite so much. I thought it might be stuffy and hard to read, but not at all. The writing style flowed beautifully to me and I found the words a delight to read, I enjoyed the mystery of the case as well, but it was the writing more than Holmes' case that really w...

But after watching BBC's Sherlock series with my daughter, who raved about it so much I had to see for myself, I'll admit my interest in the original stories was renewed. She was right, by the way; the BBC show is g...
So, in interests of full disclosure, I'm "friends" with Jamie Chase who did the art in The Hound of the Baskervilles. I shouldn't even scare quote that, because it could come off as bitchy. I've met him several times at Bubonicon, I'm friends with him on facebook, and I'm a pretty enthusiastic fangi...
I don't know why, but I was disappointed with this one. I usually like mystery and Holmes fascinated me since I was a little girl and I thought he was the biggest genius there ever was.Somehow, this book didn't manage to catch my interest and hold it in place. I mean I wanted to know how it ended an...
It's hard to believe that I've never read Doyle's most famous Sherlock Holmes tale until now. I don't even know why I've been putting this off, the short stories that I've read about the well-known detective and his sidekick Dr Watson were pretty good but this little novel has remained on my "to rea...
