The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes AD Classic Library Edition Editorial Reviews
Source: Product Description
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of the first twelve short stories based on the famous detective, including the cases of The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band, and A Scandal in Bohemia. Holmes will need to use his various skills, including an aptitude for acting and disguise, tracking footprints, hand to hand combat, deciphering different types of tobacco ash, and knowledge of psychology to solve cases of blackmail, treachery and murder. Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning, astute observation,and forensic skills to solve difficult cases. Deductive reasoning allows Holmes to impressively reveal a stranger's occupation. Similarly, by studying inanimate objects, he is able to make astonishingly detailed deductions about their owners. This mindset was a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, inspiring authors like Robert J. Sawyer, Neil Gaiman and Stephen King.

Average Rating: 4.5 (71 reviews)
Rating: 5 (This is an adventure filled mysterious book that takes you non stop into the life of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.) Was helpful to 3 from 5 votes
You meet ordinary and strange characters in this book. Every adventure is different, and a spectacular story.
They are first class mysteries. Sir A.C.Doyle is
a very talented author. You try and break the case
before Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes- quite a hard
chore. Sherlock Holmes adventures are always fun filled
and very, very, very exciting

Never get tired of reading this book. I have read it at least 4 times a year, since I was 10 or 12. Each time I read the book, I discover more subtleties. Watson's view, more so than Holmes, is that of an interested onlooker. Family man, husband, surgeon, an educated commentator - he lures us with his tales. Life, death, passion, revenge, murder, incest, and greed... all still in today's headlines, the writing never gets old or stale, even after one hundred years! Favorite line: To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman
Rating: 5 (He observes instead of sees, so he always knows more.) Was helpful to 0 from 0 votes
Each chapter is one case, so it is easy to read. The cases are so easy to solve, after sherlock Holmes tells us the clues to the evidences of course! When I was done with this book, I knew so much about Shelock Holmes' personal life and habits through his best friend, Watson's thorough, vivid details. I enjoyed this book a lot because it brings me to a natural state of sleepiness every time I finish reading a case. Read it! :-
Rating: 5 (The reader is a befuddled Watson, who Holmes enlightens) Was helpful to 0 from 0 votes
I remember reading "Adventures of Sherlock
Holmes as a teenager.
Each chapter is an adventure.
The clues are there ready to reveal the mystery.
Will you be Holmes and solve the mystery?
Will you be Watson, waiting for Holmes to decipher the clues for you?
Everyone strives to be Holmes. Sometimes you are. I was in the "Hounds of the Baskervilles". Being Watson is just as entertaining, when the clues unravel to solve the mystery.
