Bold move by Doyle to have Holmes basically disappear for almost a third of the book and have Watson do all the heavy lifting. Then again it does give Holmes a chance to reappear in the second half and be a real mischievous butt that I kinda admire.

Pretty good book. The only thing I didn’t like is that Holmes doesn’t appear for the majority of the book.
principio un poco ratata, pero ya en mitades del segundo capítulo holmes te engancha xd

Trevlig, klassisk pusseldeckare om en mystisk helveteshund som förföljer släkten Baskerville. Det var säkert tio år sedan jag läste Sherlock Holmes senast, men jag gillar den här deckarstilen trots att jag avskyr de flesta av dagens "polisdeckare" - både filmer, serier och böcker.
En trevlig liten berättelse som väcker nyfikenhet, även om karaktären Sherlock Holmes i mångt och mycket är en riktigt dryg jävel.

Dr. Mortimer: "It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull."
HA!!!
Perfectly paced, grabbed me into trying to deduce for myself what was happening on the way, I look forward to reading more of the Holmes' stories.
And I really enjoyed "The Whole Story" idea of this version - with photos, illustrations, and little tidbits in the margins to further pull readers into the story and give a greater understanding. Would be good to check out the many others in this series.

Tal vez se deba al hecho de que sea el primero libro que tengo la dicha de conocer de la saga Sherlock Holmes, pero quede impresionada, todo el tiempo la historia lograba atraparme hasta el punto de transportar mi mente a aquel lugar. La narración era tal que logre ponerme en los zapatos de Watson, en verdad me hacia sentir parte de aquella historia; y que decir del mismísimo Holmes, me pareció un personaje excepcional, a pesar de no tener como un elemento fantástico, me pareció intrigante la forma en que observaba y tenía en cuenta cada detalle para al final conecta todo y resolver el caso, además de su personalidad tan excéntrica puedo decir con certeza que me encanto, incluso puedo afirmar que se volvera de los mejores personajes que he tenido el gusto de leer
