My first Sherlock Holmes' book and loved it. The way the history is told, the way how the solution is made, it's all amazing. 'A Study in Scarlet', therefore, was kind of boring, but as a fisrt book it's pretty well. Thus, 'The Sign of the Four' was amazing and the ending made me astonished, it´s simply amazing.

3.5 for this as much as I’ve enjoyed study in scarlet
I’m afraid that I’m not a big fan of the sign of the four although it’s my second time reading it

"Pero el amor es una cosa emotiva, y todo lo emotivo es contrario a la razón pura y serena, que yo valoro por encima de lo demás. Yo nunca me casaría, porque eso podría condicionar mi buen juicio."

El "Signo de los cuatro" es la segunda novela protagonizada por Sherlock Holmes, escrita por Arthur Conan Doyle.
La novela comienza con la desaprobación de Watson por el uso recreativo (pero legal en la época) que hace Holmes de la cocaína mediante inyección. En los periodos de inactividad, nuestro detective, se vuelve una persona depresiva que cae en este y otros vicios para sobrellevarlos.
La ayuda para sacarlo de este estado viene en forma de una aventura, que incluso lo inducirá hasta sus propios límites.

Me fascina conocer cada vez más sobre esta historia, tan llenas de grises y matices. Este libro es tan bueno, misterioso y cada vez más se torna más oscuro
