Free on kindle! I had a lot of fun reading these Sherlock Holmes stories. Although I visualized Robert Downey Jr. & Jude Law while reading, it's really nothing like the current Sherlock Holmes movie - absolutely no fight scenes here! The dialogue is great, Holmes is brilliant and quirky. I liked reading one a day, nothing scary, and you can see a few plots which have made it to current TV detective shows.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience of reading the whole collection of Sherlock Holmes of his adventures. The title stands true as a reflection of this collection. Each story felt brand new and completely different from the previous one.
I enjoyed that the focus was more on the cases and Sherlock's clients than the iconic pair. But nonetheless, Doyle clearly demonstrated the bond and friendship Sherlock has with Watson. Both gentlemen quite comfortable with each other's company and helped each other out on some occasions during these adventures.
In conclusion, I cannot pick my favorite case out of all of them. They were all so amusing and grabbed my attention immediately. I love how Doyle writes. It's fast paced but well informed with lots of details and narratives. I'm left baffled by how well written these stories are and the amount of creativity in each story. Doyle clearly had a great time writing from lots of perspectives and scenarios. Sherlock Holmes is truly one of the greatest detectives of all time.
