notwaverly 's review for:

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
3.0

Rly got into a mystery trend for a minute there, and figured I should go back to the ~classic~ since I’ve never read the actual Sherlock books before. They were pretty great honestly, engaging, relaxing, Sherlock is way more of a full character than a lot of the tv shows give him credit for, weirdly, like… he’s always rude af in the tv shows/movies for no reason, but in this he’s a smart guy and like mildly rude sometimes but mostly pretty genial and accommodating, esp to ppl that aren’t being shady. Watson is kinda rude, weirdly, bc in the shows he’s always the one that’s like “sorry for my BITCHASS FRIEND, excuse him he has NO EMPATHY AND IS A PRICK”
but in a lot of the stories he’s way more likely to be rude to someone or make a judgment quickly about someone than Sherlock is.
