lep42's review against another edition
3.0
I've finally finished my listen/read of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. It took me almost 5 months to listen to the entire 56 hours on and off. I have mixed opinions about it. On the one hand the cases are usually tightly constructed and well plotted. On the other hand there's not as much character development/growth as I typically like in my books. Watson doesn't seem to grow over time. He's incredibly dense even after years of working with Holmes. I was also frustrated with the casual racism and stereotyping Sir Arthur Conan Doyle engages in. In general I feel like the short stories are better the novels.

It's not flawless but it's pretty damn good, and it's keept me sane for a big chunk of third year. Thank you A. C. D.!
