Nice little stories that interest but do not captivate.
What can be said that hasn't been said about The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes? This collection of short stories with a full novel to boot is simply entertaining. Any original Sherlock Holmes material is still highly enjoyable and can compete with the current genre offerings. Since this is a collection, I've taken the liberty to grade each component work. A Scandal in Bohemia 3/5 The Red-Headed League 4/5 The Five Orange Pips 3/5 The Blue Carbuncle 5/5 The Speckled Band 4/5 The Beryl Coronet 3/5 The Hound of the Baskervilles 5/5 I have obviously read these all when I was child. And, I can say that I probably enjoyed my reread as an adult better. Arthur really made something immortal here. Read the book while listening to unabridged audiobooks. Great experience!
