Sherlock Holmes Bd. 1: Eine Studie in Scharlachrot & Das Zeichen der Vier by Arthur Conan Doyle

iusmani's review against another edition

2.0

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle deserves every bit of fame he amassed from writing these stories. I so badly wanted to enjoy Sherlock Holmes, but unfortunately these two novellas are what made me finally realize that I don't care for mysteries or crime stories.

3.5 stars. Well- written, and I think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was very intelligent. The Sign of the Four's subject matter wasn't as interesting to me. It was funny to read A Study in Scarlet with the evil, scary Mormons.

I mean, maybe I just wasn’t in the mindset for this. I love me some Sherlock (on BBC) but I couldn’t seem to keep my wind from wandering while reading.

Also, ich bin froh, dass ich nun auch mal Sherlock Holmes gelesen habe.
Aber ich habe nicht das Bedürfnis auch noch die übrigen Bände zu lesen.
Den halben Extrastern gibt es für die wirklich schöne Schmuckausgabe mit allerlei Hintergrundinformationen und dem Glossar am Ende.

Me gusta ver a Sherlock pasarla un poco mal, que casi que llega a resolver todo pero no, me gusta también ver esa parte personal de Watson hablando, creo que es uno de los mejores que leí hasta ahora, aunque al contrario de los relatos cortos es muy difícil sacar conclusiones de que está pasando sin que Holmes te lo termine sirviendo en bandeja.
Por lo menos a mí, me queda todavía el frasco de cocaína.
