Yeah, sorry I'm back filling this and I don't remember which short stories are in which since I am reading ALL of the sherlocks back to back as a buddy read. Basically I am loving them! I also keep getting pleasantly surprised by the hot-takes and forward/progressive opinions of sherlock. LOVE IT! (not saying there is not problematic stuff in these, its a product of its time, but nothing malicious, and MORE than not commentary against most bigotted and shitty beliefs.)

Doyle's Sherlock Holmes was a captivating read. Each case was independent from another, with enough introductory knowledge to link them. Watson is a creative and likeable character, contrasting Holmes' precise, and at times, irritating behaviours.

Holmes and Watson are a delightful pair. Holmes, I think, gets a bad rep as a curmudgeon sometimes--he's actually a very caring character, and I love the way the two work together, as well as their sweet and profound friendship. There's a sameness to some of the stories, and of course some are better than others, but they're all enjoyable and engaging.
