er15ss 's review for:
A Study in Scarlet
by Arthur Conan Doyle
So I decided to start reading the Sherlock Holmes series after watching and loving the BBC mini series. I went in it understanding that obviously there would be differences as the BBC series takes place in the present day. I liked the differences, I liked how they changed some things. But that doesn't discuss the book.
The intro was fast, how Watson met Holmes seems a blur, but had enough info to get the idea. Holmes is much more of a jerk in the book than in any interpretation I have seen of him. The second part of the book came out of no where and for a while I thought the publishers had screwed up somehow, until I finally came across a name I recognized from the first part. But that just might be Doyle's style. As this is the first book of his I have read, I am uncertain of this.
Overall, it was an enjoyable, quick read, once you were assured you were reading the right book! I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
