this is for light reading because it’s a collection of short stories. i liked it though i have to admit that it took me a bit longer to finish than what i had initially thought. if you are like me who is driven by your curiosity for the ending to finish every book, it may take you a bit longer to finish this too. i felt like i was reading a chapter per day because every story ends the mystery and i did not feel compelled to read another again, but still worth the read!

Necesito aprender a hacer reseñas.

Creo que de los 3 que llevo de Sherlock Holmes es el que mas me ha gustado por la variedad de las historias.
Obviamente no puedo separarme del Show de BBC y de las películas de RDJ, sin embargo veo que, si la mejor adaptación es BBC, lo siento (de esas dos).

En cuanto al libro, creo haberlo mencionado, al final el villano resulta bastante obvio pero es my entretenido leer hasta el final lo que ocurre. Esto también se puede deber a que para el tiempo en que estas Aventuras fueron escritas quienes las leían no tenían los antecedentes que tenemos ahora, tanto en lecturas como en programas de televisión que de una forma u otra nos han enseñado a discernir el contenido y dar la respuesta al misterio.

En otra nota: No me he topado con el subtexto que todo mundo dice existe desde los libros hasta la serie de tv para indicar que Sherlock es gay por Watson, tal vez me falta leer mas o meterme mas a fondo a este asunto.

Fue un buen libro para finalizar mi 2017 y cumplir una de mis metas que era por fin leer estos libros.
