In 2010, we had to read for classes one of the Sherlock Holmes' books. My teacher gave us three options. Those options were The Hound of the Baskervilles, A Study in Scarlet and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. We had to vote for the one we considered the most interesting, and the winner was THotB. Since then, I made the promise to read the entire canon... but I did it with one purpose: To get to TMoSH. Do you know why? Because in this one Holmes was supposed to die, and also because MoriartyThe Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that had originally been published in the Strand Magazine. Much like we like to watch our favorite shows with a new episode every week, the Strand published these stories and fans couldn't get enough. Readers, not unlike fans today, wanted to have a marathon, so Doyle published collections allowing them to binge out on their favorite detective. This is the second Sherlock Holmes collection and at the time
Fourth in the Sherlock Holmes series, this collection includes: - Silver Blaze - 4/5 - after a slow start it's Holmes by a nose! - The Yellow Face - 4/5 - An interesting mystery with an ending that was quite progressive for its day- The Stock-Broker's Clerk - 3/5 - very similar to The Red Headed League- The Adventure of the Gloria Scott: Sherlock Holmes - 3/5 - Holmes' first case, very similar to The Sign of Four- The Musgrave Ritual - 4/5 - another early Holmes case told to Watson - The Reigate
This is just a wonderful , to me, walk down memory lane, re-living and re-experiencing some of the most iconic Holmes stories ever written by "Sir Arth".This book contains such gems as "The Musgrave Ritual", "Silver Blaze", "The Resident Patient", "The (fabulous) Greek Interpreter" - πολι καλά and of course the amazing, emotional, fatal "The Final Problem".The Final Problem, what can one say, I almost had tears in my eyes as (view spoiler)[ the letter arrives for Watson to return to the Hotel,
This has been, by far - the best of the Sherlock Holmes series for me.I enjoyed every single one of these short stories - not only were the mysteries themselves interesting, it is clear that the observation of Sherlock Holmes' fascinating character is what draws the attention of the reader. From his first case to his last, this has been truly enjoyable.I really enjoy this whole backstory. Go character development!
June 7, 2019This is Doyle's second collection of canonical Sherlock Holmes stories, containing a dozen tales originally published in The Strand magazine between Dec. 1892 and Nov. 1893. It's included in an omnibus volume of Holmes books that my wife gave me several years ago, The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes, which is enhanced by all of the original black-and-white drawings by gifted artist Sidney Paget. I've recently begun using it to dip into when I'm between other reads; so in this
Though some of these stories slipped into the formulaic, I was still entertained. The one I keep thinking of, however, is the one that's most laughable for both good and bad. The Adventure of the Reigate Squire is problematic in its plot elements, especially with the introduction at the very end of a name wed not heard before (What?!), but the description of Sherlocks physical actions are a visual delight (and thats something I dont usually value). The 'bad-laughing' had me wondering if this is
