kirchenberth 's review for:
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
by Arthur Conan Doyle
I am glad I went through and gave these a second read. The last time I read them (around 6th grade) I think I was too young to appreciate a lot of what happens in these tales. This collection is all about character development - you get to see all the human side of Holmes, including his flaws. This being the primary factor unfortunately some of the mysteries are a little lack luster. Silver Blaze is one of the reasons I remember starting Sherlock. I loved horses, particularly racehorses and would read anything I could find with them. My children's librarian recommended this and I of course devoured it. This is probably also the easiest one the solve on your own, but as an 11 year old I was fascinated by the skills employed. The Musgrave Ritual is another one that is easy to figure out but it expertly crafts Holmes. The whole image of Sherlock being bored enough to shoot the wall says a great deal about his personality. The Final Problem is well crafted but NOOOOOOO! I think that sums it up. All in all I love Sherlock Holmes.
