A great little starter set of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. My first encounter with Sherlock but certainly not my last.

I found the cases interesting for the most part but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing wasn't really for me. I needed an audiobook to be able to get through this without falling asleep. I was just very disappointed because I expected the tone to be very different and I felt like there was barely any characterization which was really off-putting. But, the audiobook made it much easier to digest the plot and made it a little more enjoyable.
Good collection of the shorter Holmes stories, but if you're looking for the more famous ones, this is not the assortment for you.
Actual Rating 3.5
I knew about Sherlock Holmes but didn’t get the chance to read his stories. I really liked the first story but didn’t find much character development after that I decided to watch Sherlock Holmes season and spent the whole weekend watching it. After that when I read the rest of the stories, it was so easy to understand the character but I must say I like modern Sherlock better than the real one. For a short story, there were so many characters and they sounded the same to me. Stories were so interesting to read and endings make me feel like an Idiot (which is a positive thing).
But I don’t think I’ll read Sir Conan Doyle again as old English (if it is the right term to use) is not my cup of tea and act as an obstacle while reading because I can’t understand what their real expressions are.
PS. This kind of writing reminded me of Narnia which I DNFed after 4 books.
