Summary: 221B Baker Street at it's finest
Review: I always admired Sherlock Holmes as a great detective, but never actually took to reading the actual stories. I must say this is a great book, though it starts off a bit slow with the way-too-drawn-out Sign of Four and Study in Scarlet, it picks up with the well done short storys like The Engineer's Thumb, The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band, The Yellow Face and oh-so-many more. This is deffenately one to pick up, it's a thick book, too, at 1059 pages,

Summary: "Elementary My Dear Watson" he did not say
Review: I read that somewhere and in this book I came to the part where it's close, but he did indeed not say that. *chuckles* A really good book. I read of Sherlock Holmes, saw the ill conceived cartoon about him, but up until now I've never read him. A long book yes. (1059 pages worth) And I suggest the paperback. You'll find yourself questioning alot about Holmes when you start reading, one is does this guy have any faults. Oh yes he does.

Summary: Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1
Review: If you are a mystery fan, this is a can't-miss collection of the early Sherlock Holmes stories. While most of the stories are not as clever as the ones in the original Sherlock collection ("The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"), this book introduces two pivotal figures in the series - Sherlock's eccentric brother Mycroft and the evil mastermind Professor Moriarity. Most fans agree that the stories in ADVENTURES and MEMOIRS set the standard to which all other Sherlock stories are compared.

Summary: Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1
Review: If you're only going to buy one of the volumes of the Complete Sherlock Holmes, then this is the one I would recommend. The later stories are very good, too, but the ones in this one are better.

Summary: WAT-SON! . . . This place is a mess.
Review: Of the two volumes, this happens to be my favourite. Matter of fact, this is my favourite piece of fiction to date. There's some great stories in this volume, particularly, The Adventure of the Devil's Foot. The Bruce Partington Plans, Shoscombe Old Place etc. The Case Book Stories found in this volume, the last twelve are probably the most romantic (not to be confused with romance, although there is some of that), on the part of Holmes' biographer Dr. John Watson (Doyle) and not as deeply scientific as some of the earlier works found in the first volume, like the Five Orange Pips. The beauty of this volume though, works upon your imagination using your fascination with Holmes's outlandishness and quirky behaviour and Watson's down-home bed-side manner. A classic volume, indeed.

Summary: The game is a. . .affordable!
Review: The complete stories of THE Master. For around six dollars (per volume, of course). You don't need the logic of Holmes to conclude that this bargain is worth the buy. The mysteries are classic, the characters timeless, and the settings intriguing. You will not be disappointed -- in fact, you will want to read and reread your bargain ticket to 221B Baker Street again and again! Buy it! NOW!
