This is the first Sherlock Holmes novel I've read. I've ran out of mystery/thrillers by other authors that I enjoy so I decided to try out Sherlock Holmes.  Admittedly, I was influenced by some of the characters on Star Trek TNG that enjoy the stories.

This book has a weird middle section that was very disorienting. I had to check Wikipedia to make sure there wasn't an error in the file and what I was reading was part of the plot. 

I really like Dr. Watson and his backstory.
