Book Reviews of The Complete Sherlock Holmes (Vintage Classics)
Book Review: Classics Rate Well
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read all the Conan-Doyle stories as a young lady, I was shocked that my uncle had not read even one of them. I bought this book of the Novels for him as a starter toward the literary enjoyment I wished to share with him. He received it as a Christmas gift this year and has talked of little else. He loves the typeset, the fact that all the novels are in one book, and the beauty of the hard bound book itself. The stories are classics and he is reading them with relish. I , and he, would recommend this collection to anyone who loves good literature and the crisp turn of a page as an adventure unfolds. 5 Stars !!
Summary of The Complete Sherlock Holmes (Vintage Classics)
This book contains all the investigations and adventures of the world?s most popular detective. Follow the illustrious career of this quintessential British hero from his university days to his final case. His efforts to uncover the truth take him all over the world and into conflict with all manner of devious criminals.This volume, authorized by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate, contains all 4 full-length novels and all 56 short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. At over a thousand pages, the weighty tome is a perfect gift for budding amateur sleuths, and it is an ideal companion for a long stay on a desert island (or a leisurely trip through the English countryside). As the reader wades past the tense introductions of A Study in Scarlet and moves towards such classic tales as The Hound of the Baskervilles, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," and "The Final Problem," she is sure to draw her own conclusions about Holmes's veiled past and his quirky relationship with his "Boswell," Watson. Doyle never revealed much about Holmes's early life, but the joy of reading the complete Holmes is assembling the trivia of each story into something like a portrait of the detective and his creator. By the end of the long journey through London and across Europe (with a long stopover at Reichenbach Falls), one is apt to have found a friend for life. --Patrick O'Kelley
