Explore Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels And Stories, Volume II Illustrated By Arthur Conan Doyle Available In Kindle

good: The Hound of the Baskervilles,
The bad: The increasingly repetitive, formulaic and sensationalist nature of the later stories, Wow, that was a long one, but it was worth it, I'mean we're talking Sherlock Holmes here probably the most famous detective in mystery fiction, I usually don't stick to one writer, especially if it was as good as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, However, I don't like to leave a book unfinished so it can't be helped,

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" was quite an adventure, I've never guessed who is the villain, I would have if I thought outside the box which you should in mystery novels, but the author did a good job in misleading the reader with a lot of events going on at the same time.


"The Valley of Fear"
This one was amazing, and once again I failed to see the truth, The second half of the tale takes you backyears in to the past where a lot of things related to the story is explained.
Among Sherlock Holmes novels, this was my favorite,

The rest was a collection of short stories which were interesting enough to read, my favorites were " The Adventure of the Red Circle ", " The Adventure of the Dying Defective ", " The Adventure of the Devil's Foot", " The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire " and " The Adventure of the BrucePartingon Plans "
.
stars!

My favorite stories were:

The Hound of the Baskervilles
The Adventure of the Dying Detective
The Problem of Thor Bride

I love Watson and Sherlocks friendship so much! This is one of the few novels which still has retained it's popularity among classics and is one of the favorite of many avid book readers.
Sherlock Holmes will always be one of my favorite classics, Fan of Sherlock Holmes. Love how he so brilliantly solve every mystery with his own method, His personality is savage. Never afraid of all the threat, Also love Dr Watson as loyal accompany, His loyalty as a friend is the best, His understanding for his best friend characteristics is the best,

The thing i dislike about this series is use of old verses, There a line that i have to repeat few times to understand it, Maybe because I am not fluent English speaker, But still manage to finished the book but take eternity, And as a person who has eyes problem, the fonts is killing me, So small and closed. I wish it can be a bit bigger to ease the readers like me,

Every single story in this series are good on their own, Every mystery make me also think how to settle it but never did, But I enjoyed as a reader, And with that I have read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories! Apparently there is exactly one year and two days separating the date I read the first story and the date I read the last haha.


And yes, I am greatly amused by how often Doyle tried to end this series, except his publishers and audience wouldn't let him lolll.


I had read a few random stories as a child but we're going to ignore that for the sake of this proclamation.
There's being a product of the times, and there's being an appalling white supremacist, Doyle is unfortunately the latter, which this collection makes painfully clear, All the good stories, and the least racist ones, are in the first

volume, Unless you're a diehard fan and/or masochist, give this a miss, The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge
The Adventure of the Cardboard Box
The Adventure of the Red Circle
The Adventure of the BrucePartington Plans
The Adventure of the Dying Detective
The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax.

His Last Bow.

The Adventure of the Illustrious Client
The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier
The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone
The Adventure of the Three Gables.

The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire
The Adventure of the Three Garridebs
The Problem of Thor Bridge
The Adventure of the Creeping Man
The Adventure of the Lions Mane
The Adventure of Veiled Lodger
The Adventure of the Shoscombe Old Place
The Adventure of the Retired ColourmanI was intimidated by how thick the books were before Id start.
But now that Ive finished them, I felt like I didnt get enough of Holmes and Watson,

This era of England would always be a fascination to me now, Thanks to Ms. Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,

No, I cant choose between our tall, greyeyed London detective and short, eggshaped, Belgium detective, I love them both. I love Sherlock Holmes as a character and it is very interesting to me to see his character development throughout the series, However, it is very obvious that by the time Arthur Conan Doyle got to writing 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes', that he really started to really resent Sherlock Holmes.
In 'His Last Bow' and 'The CaseBook of Sherlock Holmes', you see that resentment turn into a bitter hatred for his detective, Even though Conan Doyle seemed to have tried to hide his dislike of his own character and story arc, you do feel that the author had grown exhausted and was just writing out the last of his Sherlock Holmes stories to amuse the ever adoring fans of this eccentric detective.


The stories that make up this collection are very interesting, We have two full length novels 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' and 'The Valley of Fear', Included in this specific edition of Sherlock are the final two short story collections that I have previously named, This is an American publication of Sherlock Holmes, so it contains a short story that was originally added to another collection The Adventure of the Cardboard Box perhaps my least favourite Sherlock Holmes story to date, but it is a great edition to complement the first volume of stories if you prefer the mass market paperback to the other more expensive collections out there.


Some of these stories were rather hit or miss with me, I loved some of them, others were just okay to read, but then you had some of the stories that were mediocre at best see aforementioned author hate of his own character.


While, the last novel and short story collection wraps up Sherlock Holmes quite nicely, I highly recommend reading the earlier work depicting Sherlock.
I do not recommend readers starting out with His Last Bow or The CaseBook as I feel that these stories were written when the author was completely tired of his Sherlock Holmes character.
Sherlock at his best is arguably in the earlier short story collections including and ending at The Return of Sherlock Holmes,

These tales were fun at the time of reading them, but are unfortunately not memorable outside of two or three stories with the two final collections combined.
. . and it's definitely not Sherlock at his best, I love Sherlock so much that it makes me sad to know that Ive read all the stories, I wish there was more! Just as good as Volume One, I want someone to make me a tshirt with a picture of Holmes and Watson exchanging necklaces with "BFFs" inscribed on them, actually, considering the time period, I suppose they'd exchange engraved watches or something,
Oh sitelinkWatson, how I love you,

And Now A Word On The Movie:
It had so much potential, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are wonderful as Holmes and Watson, and their combined awesome can overcome Rachel McAdam's miscasting as Irene Adler, But everything else is a stinking pile of action trash steampunk fail, They take Irene Adler, an awesome character from A Scandal in Bohemia Volume I and degrade her into a silly former fling of Holmes' does.
not. compute. and the plot seems to have been stolen from a rejected Dan Brown novel, No, no, no, and NO, Classic reading at it's best, Y aquí concluye mi viaje junto a los queridos Holmes y Watson, un viaje que fue entretenido y que en ocasiones logró sorprenderme de manera grata.
Ciertamente las historias de este volumen mantienen la línea del primero, con lo cual, el autor cumple lo que promete,
En general, las aventuras del gran detective están bien y son entretenidas en su gran mayoría, pero debo admitir y sobre todo en este segundo volumen que disfruté mucho más los hechos anteriores al desarrollo del caso que el caso en cuestión.
El flashback en "The valley of fear" me parece magistral,
Con lo anterior, resalto sin duda la labor literaria de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle y no podría estar más de acuerdo frente a la importancia que se le da en el mundo de las letras.
Als ich klein war, habe ich zeimlich viele Sherlock Holmes Geschichten gelesen, Es waren nicht alle und ich konnte mich an keine mehr so richtig erinnern, Ich weiß nur noch, dass ich The Hound of the Baskervilles am wenigsten mochte, Und jetzt, nachdem ich die zwei Bände und alle Sherlock Holmes Werke am Stück gelesen habe, ist eben der Roman meine allerliebste Geschichte.
Der Fall ist cool, das Setting beeindruckend und gruselig, die Charaktere wachsen einem sehr schnell ans Herz und es ist alles so emotional.
Auch The Valley of Fear mochte ich sehr, Besonders wegen der Auflösung ganz am Ende, Die Erzählunden in der Sammlung His Last Bow und besonders die Geschichte His Last Bow wären SO ein guter Abschluss gewesen.
Die letztenKurzgeschichten fühlen sich deshalb etwas unzusammenhangslos an,
Alles in allem hatte ich sehr viel Spaß mit Holmes und Watson, Ich war leider zu ungeduldig, um mir mit dem Lesen Zeit zu lassen, Aber ich finde, besonders die Kurzgeschichten könnte man sich gut über einen langen Zeitraum verteilen, Dann wirken sie vermutlich auch stärker,
Ich bin aber froh, jetzt alles gelesen zu haben und ich bin sehr begeistert von Arthur Conan Doyles Schreibweise, Ich bin immer sehr gut in die Fälle eingetaucht und selbst die kleinsten Nebenfiguren wurden auf nur wenigen Seiten mit Leben gefüllt.
Ich mag es, wenn Holmes gefühlvolle Seite ab und zu zum Vorschein kam und seine und Watsons Freundschaft ist so hach, The stories were well written and very clever The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear were particularly enjoyable, . . Highly recommended! I've now read the complete canon of the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels, They are a true treat for all mystery lovers and all readers of good stories with quick plot developments and the portrayal of a quirky and devoted friendship between Holmes and his quiet, steadfast, and methodical biographer, Dr.
Watson. Amazing Such a fun journey with my favorite couple, I had fun trying to solve the mysteries,
had to read the book in parts though since each story was quite detailed,stars, mainly because I love The Hound of the Baskervilles so much and I forgot how much I enjoy The Valley of Fear the latter half of that sentence sounds so strange out of context.
