That said, after reading most of the adventures, the 'pattern' of story used becomes similar from one to another which is why Sherlock became so popular. The highly intuitive character seems to have a connection with details others only dream about. Told through the eyes of Watson these stories are enchanting, surprising and filled with twists and turns. I did grow weary of the style over time though; in fact I seem to take on a "Sherlock" quality in that I could sense what would follow in an adventure or memoir. Good stuff all the way around though. This is a reread...at least that's what I thought when I initially picked this book off of my shelf. When I was an undergrad approximately a million years ago I read a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories. I felt pretty positive that the Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes were included but I definitely didn't remember all of the stories in this collection. That made the reading experience even more special because I got to experience these mysteries for the very first time! I'd be quite surprised if you haven't been at least somewhat exposed to the deductive reasoning powers of the world-renowned detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty chronicler Dr. John H. Watson. Whether through the original films, the reboots with Robert Downey Jr., or the tv series with the phenomenal Benedict Cumberbatch there's little doubt that you know something about these two characters. Most are familiar with The Study in Scarlet, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and His Last Bow but those stories are not included in this (quite large) tome. If you've read those and haven't explored the rest of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's offerings I highly recommend you pick this book up. It would make a great gift for a mystery lover and is perfect for cozying up with on a cold winter night. (I sound like I'm getting royalties to promote this but I genuinely just enjoyed my time visiting Baker Street again.) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

From “A Scandal in Bohemia,” in which Sherlock Holmes is famously outwitted by a woman, the captivating Irene Adler, to “The Five Orange Pips,” in which the master detective is pitted against the Ku Klux Klan, to “The Final Problem,” in which Holmes and his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, face each other in a showdown at the Reichenbach Falls, the stories that appear in The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes bear witness to the flowering of author Arthur Conan Doyle’s genius. “The plain fact,” the celebrated mystery writer Vincent Starrett asserted, “is that Sherlock Holmes is still a more commanding figure in the world than most of the warriors and statesmen in whose present existence we are invited to believe.” Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Oh how wonderful it was to go back into the world of Sherlock Holmes again!! It had been far too long since I had picked this volume up (hence why I feel okay counting a previously read title for a title towards my goal). Since I fell in love with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (in my teenage years), I have gravitated towards the BBC miniseries with Benedict Cumberbatch and Morgan Freeman. Seeing those interpretations of classic stories always made my heart glad!
My favorites in this volume are similar to the ones I loved before--"A Study in Scarlet" (and yes, I do picture the Wishbone episode of this short story) and "The Speckled Band" (golly, I hate snakes!) ( )
