The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
5.0

Ever since I fell in love on first sight with BBCs Sherlock mini serial, I've been wanting to read the original stories behind that ingenious show.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes is a book I wish everyone would read once in their lifetime, but the sad truth is that they won't. It's heavy, literally, there are many pages to read - but all the better, right? Because there really is nothing in this that I felt was a waste of time. Even the shortest adventure proved to be amusing, suspenseful or insightful and you fall in love as deeply and madly with Holmes and Watson, as you do in the tv show.

My favorite story is The Adventure of the Red-Headed League, if anyone wonders, while my favorite novel must be A Study in Scarlet.
