moiraburke 's review for:

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

---

"Eh. Holmes is condescending and Watson is complacently tautological. Maybe if this had been written as a serial I'd be more forgiving of the redundancies, but reading about the same insipid clues in a cliffhanger-ish tone four times in an hour killed the story for me. What about the rumors of the hound on the moor? And what about the mysterious bearded stranger? And what were the Barrymores hiding? And who is L.L.? And when will this story ever end?"
