carlyg123 's review for:

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
4.0

2016: In summary, “You have degraded what should have been a course of lectures into a series of tales.”


2018: Okay, so I may have drafted out a plan for how I was going to review this. It involved reviewing each story as a singular tale, and ranking them in order. In retrospect I wish I had, for it would make it much easier to return to those I consider to be superior to the others. As it is, those which stand out are A Scandal In Bohemia, The Boscombe Valley Mystery, The Adventure of the Speckled Band and The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb. The second of those was the only one which I had no recollection of at all, and the final one I only remember that it involved a strange, circular room and an accent. The Speckled Band is, needless to say, my favourite for reasons I couldn't explain, but the others are close by.
