After a year, I've read all Sherlock Holmes books, at last. I loved each one of them and this whole world created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle changed my life. I thought to pay my final homage to this series by listing each book of it by my personal liking. Can't say why I love one more than another: I've always, completely, followed my instincts. And here it is:1. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (★★★★★)2. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (★★★★★)3. The Hound of the Baskervilles (★★★★★)4. The Valley(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: A volume divided into two tiers of quality. Heavily reliant on gimmickry and clear retreads of earlier Holmes stories.
With this book I have re-read the entire Sherlock Holmes canon. I loved every minute and will probably do it again several times with whatever amount of time I have left to me.The complete canon would be a great desert island suggestion.A tip--get these books with the original illustrations. Makes them even more fun.
By finishing this book, I not only finish "just a book", I have also arrived at the final stop of a journey. The journey of mr. Holmes and dr. Watson. So I would like to recap for just a moment on that journey through over fifty short stories and four novels. It's been a fun journey, I've seen a writer grow and employ his skills better and better. I've seen the stories grow more and more interesting, more exciting. I'm actually quite sad knowing there's nothing new in store for me, the journey
I am done with all the Sherlock Holmes canon!! Almost cant believe it! Im so glad that I finally went on this journey and got to experience this character that Ive been fascinated with since before I can really remember. Well worth the journey. And I really liked this collection, it was probably the most varied of the collections, and we actually got to see Sherlock narrate a couple of the stories, which I was hoping would happen eventually!
This collection of short stories is not the strongest in the series, but it certainly has its moments. Doyle knew this would be the end, and he took a few risks with the storytelling, getting away, in places, from his standard approach. This is the book, more than any of the others, where he really seemed to relax and get creative with the style. Some parts are better than others, but all of them are interesting. This book features some stories narrated from Sherlocks point of view, and one of
This is the final Sherlock Holmes book, and while it is enjoyable, I think "Casebook" is the weakest collection of Sherlock stories. Having gone through all nine books this summer, it really seems like Doyle was so tired of the character that he was phoning it in by the 1920s. But I did have some favorites in the bunch: "The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone," in which Holmes uses that wacky new gizmo called a phonograph to fool some criminals; "The Problem of Thor Bridge" has an ingenious method
