I have to admit I wonder how boring and annoying it would be to be Sherlock Holmes, always seeing more than everyone else except the reader well at least this reader. Fortunately in the stories he seems fairly good humored about it. And I didn't mind that I solved about 3 out of 5 of the cases during the initial stating of facts.

It was fine? None of the stories stuck with me. I had wanted one good mystery not a bunch of small ones but it was my first Sherlock Holmes book and I will definitely read more

Not a fan of all of the stories, but given that I’m not usually a fan of short stories anyway, it’s safe to say I loved this book. ACD’s writing style is just pleasant to read, and it’s very interesting to read the original if you’ve seen the adaptations.
