this story had a good balance of humor and active case solving, which is always a plus. some parts were less memorable, but overall a decent read.

Somehow, this one was kind of hard for me to grasp. Maybe it's because I was tired or not in the mood, but the story and the turn of events felt a little far-fetched. However, I will admit that it was quite entertaining and unique. I love Sherlock Holmes and am eager to read more of Arthur Conan Doyle's work.

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was a fun ride full of interesting mysteries that I mostly solved with easy but still story by story this eccentric detective grew on me and I found myself truly enjoying a book after a long reading slump that was on and off during the whole year.
