Esperava mais 

Nota 3/5= a expectativa destruiu a leitura 

Leitura= 10/2018 

Achei chatinho no geral, a linguagem antiga também me irrita. É arrastado, um tanto confuso e chega a ser cansativo. Não sei se é tanto um problema com a trama ou porque eu já vi tantas outras versões (filmes, séries e até livros), mas parece batido e nada impressionante. 

Merece crédito por ter rendido tantas versões diferentes que me agradaram bem mais que essa, mas não sei se vou continuar a ler os originais.

A fun read! I will definitely continue the series. 

I did get a little confused with the jump back in time, but overall a great read.

I liked the story.  And it was very well written.  The characters were written with great care.  They had a slight but visible development, and it fit.  It was nice and at the same time interesting to see the beginning of the collaboration between Holmes and Dr.  Watson.

A fun first book for sure, I can see why the public would've been so obsessed in the late 1800s. I don't have a lot of thoughts on the story otherwise, but I did rather like that the second bit gives us the murderer's full story and motive, even if some less observant readers found it a bit confusing.
