This was the first collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories that I read! I was quite surprised by how short each of the mysteries were, and how fast they flew by. But I did enjoy them. I loved seeing the deduction at work, and it was iconic finally reading about the duo. From the speech I could easily tell that the BBC casting for the series had been done so well. I felt like the endings were a bit too abrupt at times, and sometimes the stories felt quite short. I did like what characterisation I read, but I didn’t fall head over heels in love with either Holmes or Watson like I expected to. Loved the plots to the mysteries and the solving of them though!

I wish I could track each individual short story instead. Maybe I can, I should look into that. 

I pick them up here and there as I please so cataloging the whole book at once feels like it's taking forever.

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!
