For such a short story, it did take a while to get going. Nosotros take Sherlock Holmes and Medico Watson involved in a case of a mysterious hound that a homo (James Mortimer) believes killed his friend Charles Baskerville. James is concerned since the new heir to the Baskerville manor, Sir Henry. There is a lot of clues and in the end, Holmes and Watson solve the mystery.

Please note that I gave this book 3.five stars and rounded it upwards to 4 stars on Goodreads.For such a short story, information technology did take a while to go going. We have Sherlock Holmes and Doc Watson involved in a case of a mysterious hound that a man (James Mortimer) believes killed his friend Charles Baskerville. James is concerned since the new heir to the Baskerville estate, Sir Henry. There is a lot of clues and in the end, Holmes and Watson solve the mystery.
I like these stories (well the ones I take read) for the well-nigh part because we become told the story from Watson'southward bespeak of view, with lots of Holmes running commentary. This one was lacking I thought since we get very lilliputian Holmes in this. I would liken it to the Poirot mystery I read concluding year where he solves the crime past sitting in his apartment, but had someone else do all of the work (The Clocks). Instead we have lots of Watson being on the scene and writing to Holmes to share his comments on everyone around the Baskerville estate.
I recall the last story I read and really enjoyed most Sherlock and Doctor Watson was "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." Probably because the way the suspect gear up things up was very clever to me. And I loved the terminal resolution to everything also. This story has whet my appetite somewhat for Holmes and Watson, so maybe I volition start trying to read the outset couple of stories once again presently.
I tin honestly say that I plant the writing to be just a piffling bit muddled at times. I at one indicate could not follow who was who and who had done what (the 2 principal women in the story). And I kind of called nonsense at how the whole affair was set-up. Maybe it'south only me, but I retrieve yous could recall of something ameliorate to practise if y'all want to become rid of people. The flow was rather painful too for such a short story. I retrieve information technology was jumping from Watson's narrative to his messages, and without Holmes effectually to provide clarity, I had no thought if what Watson was doing would ultimately exist germane to the plot.
The setting of the Baskerville estate was perfect for a Halloween read though. A huge domicile lonely on the moor with a dangerous hound afoot. We even become Watson out and about during a moonlit night for those who may desire to read this for some other bingo square.
The catastrophe was slightly impuissant too. We had Holmes repeat what we already knew to Watson, and what Watson already knew too. I think it was to attempt to explain abroad a lot of holes in the story though, which Holmes or in this instance Doyle did not do a very good job of.
I had a lot of fun reading everyone'due south updates and reviews for this one!

I accept not lived for years with Sherlock Holmes for nothing."
October 2017 — The audio version ably read by Stephen Fry was a keen way to accompany Holmes and Watson over the moors again.

Anyhow, what I love about classic detective stories (I would and so like that English have a word as suggestive as the Italian "giallo" to name this kind of fiction) is that what you lot see is what you lot get. Of course, you need perspicacity and attention, but it's a trama affair – not a stylis
Definitely, reading an e-book in bed this is non a proficient idea– I kept falling asleep and that'southward why it took me so long (more than than a calendar month!)to stop a novel that had all the attributes to make a very quick reading .Anyway, what I honey about classic detective stories (I would and so like that English have a word as suggestive equally the Italian "giallo" to name this kind of fiction) is that what you see is what yous get. Of course, you need perspicacity and attention, only it'southward a trama thing – not a stylistic, or compositional, or even metaphysical ane.
Here nosotros have the usual shrewd Sherlock Holmes, an emulator Watson who plays the detective and a murder. A petty flake of Gothic landscape to salt the story, an inheritance to generate the motive, a legend (this is also gothic) to trigger the plot and the success is guaranteed.
And honestly, isn't this all nosotros need sometimes?
Even with all of the people who've played Holmes and Watson over the years, I notwithstanding motion picture Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce when reading these stories. Ahhhhh...one of the outset Sherlock Holmes books I'd always read. Notwithstanding a smashing read!

Information technology'south been a long time since reading a Sherlock Holmes story. He'south a bit of a pompous ass and poor Watson puts up with his constant put downs merely still a good read.
What's surprising, though, is how readable this book was, and how non-dated
I enjoyed this far more than than I expected! Having read The Return of Sherlock Holmes, I institute Holmes and Watson more rewarding here, in the context of a novel, than in that collection of short mysteries. Again, it's pretty amazing how influential this stuff is - every bit you read, information technology becomes obvious that everything from House M.D., to Patricia Cornwell, to Harry Potter, to Scooby-Doo, bears the fingerprints of Arthur Conan Doyle.What'due south surprising, though, is how readable this book was, and how non-dated it felt. It was humorous, suspenseful, and (since I've never seen a film accommodation or annihilation) kept me guessing until the climax. Holmes is ane of the best-known characters in literary history for good reason, and The Hound of the Baskervilles must be his loftier water mark. Great stuff.

I re-read The Hound of the Baskervilles, which is a terrific story. I read it many years ago and have seen diverse versions on Television set, so I knew the full general story.

Holmes makes a strong appearance, but his typical ingeniousness is subdued. The mystery is a practiced one, but (I think) just a scrap too fussy. The terminal affiliate ties all the threads together, simply it doesn't do it very organically, which is a pity.
All in all, the all-time Holmes novel (so far.) I'm going to accept a niggling pause from these stories.

I find information technology a little bit too long for my taste, in that location's too many words peculiarly in the end, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is always a smashing reading; and re-reading, too.

Sherlock has experienced a new surge of popularity in the last few years, and I tin can't say that I've ever had much to do with him or his very large fandom.I can certainly come across why he is so pop, with stories such as this ane. Holmes is the genius we all admire and wish we could be like. Who wouldn't like to solve the mysteries of life with such an ease?
Yet, in this particular story, Holmes isn't present for much of it. Instead, Watson is on his ain to try to collect clues for Holmes and to effort to solve the mystery of the hound. I enjoyed Watson's POV, as his intelligence level is more along the lines of my ain, and every bit I was reading, I felt almost like I was trying to solve the murder with him, and that I was trying to testify to Holmes that I was merely equally smart as he was.
Which comes to one of my complaints nearly this book. The reader may gauge at the respond to the mystery, but there's no fashion you tin can know for sure, for information is withheld from the reader until Holmes is there to fill in all of the gaps.
Even so, I run into Holmes appeal, and this was an enjoyable read. Specially since I was reading information technology for course and the teacher wouldn't let usa read ahead, instead having us read it just equally the story was first serialized.

I actually enjoyed reading The Hound of the Baskervilles. Its was an exciting novel that continue you lot on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Arthur Conan Doyle has very diverse characters that contribute to the plot of the novel very well. If I would have to change annihilation, I would change the first to have more description near Holmes and Md Watson. But it was the 5th Sherlock Holmes book so you might have to read some consecutive ones to get the point.
The novel was very interesting and keep yous guessing. A book you never wanted to let downwardly. I gave the book iv stars!

I have to acknowledge that I was a little disappointed with this story from Arthur Conan Doyle. Equally a lover of mysteries, I had been looking forward to reading a Sherlock Holmes story. But Holmes was absent from most

The Kindle version that I had was likewise missing some pertinent parts of the story, which I had to look up online to not be completely lost. And while the mystery they were solving was inappreciably over exciting, it was however a very enjoyable read with enough of twists and turns to the plot.

Doyle taught that it's not always the characters and the details to include, but sometimes in that location's merely a spark of interest los Information technology wasn't every bit expert as Doyle's other stories, it just feels like he lost middle during the middle of the story, realized, and hurried to the end. While most of his other works were faster passed with only enough time to breath, this ane only seems to droll on and accept much less of a heart to it than the others. Which is a shame considering how much I like the other stories.

I don't know why the mysteries they make these days are and then bad.
I also recommend Arsene Lupin who is a theif who steals from the rich people. Mariuce Leblanc does a good task with that except the Sherlock Holmes fans actually hate the book Arsene Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes...

1. The Stapletons were really married, not siblings.
2. The Human being on the Tor was Sherlock Holmes.
3. The dude who died wasn't Sir Henry.
Things I was totally wrong about:
1. The dude who died wasn't Barrymore.
2. Sir Henry wasn't actually the escaped convict (though I thought this would be a stretch).
Not too shabby. Guess that's what comes from reading and then many of these stories.

This is the beginning novel-length unmarried story about Sherlock Holmes. Much of the story was without Holmes and from Watson'southward solo signal of view. That didn't detract from the story and I found it overall a solid story. That said, I found the revealed protagonist to be a scrap on the weak side. He did not strike me equally being nearly equally brilliant as Holmes found him.
