The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

4.0

---

One might think I didn't enjoy this very much, since it took me so long to read. I did enjoy it, though at times the narrative retelling of the mystery was not so engaging as otherwise--I couldn't always feel that I was in the story. But it was still quite interesting reading. I think "The Speckled Band" and "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb" were two of my favorite stories--more on-sight action/danger than some, I guess, which makes them more fun. There were a few uses of the Lord's name in vain, but otherwise the stories were decent.
