Look at that! Customer service is superb! Products are packed well, and books are in perfect condition! I love it ❤ Kudos to Fully Booked, I even got the receipt of my purchase. Thanks a bunch, been looking for these books for a long time now.

I think the coolest thing about reading this is finding how many lines from the movies are actually found within the book! The stories are entertaining, but his logic and observational capability are astounding. I've been trying to do the same, and it's amazing what you can find and deduce...

I struggled to get into this collection of stories - possibly because I had just finished The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes very recently. I did, however, enjoy learning more about Holmes' personal life and background and learning more about the relationship between Holmes and Watson. I would definitely recommend this to any existing Holmesian converts or anyone who enjoys a good whodunnit and enjoys fiding out the how as well as the why.

Sherlock Holmes just isn't really my thing. Kinda rote. Kinda sexist. Important because it developed the formula used a gazillion times over that makes reading it feel like you've read it before. But not my favorite in terms of classics.

I read this ages ago...when I was but an egg. But Sherlock stands to time and Doyle has a very interesting way into a story. But you should read the Hound of the Baskervilles first. That first chapter is all you will ever need to know about critical thinking.

This is a great book, One of many books by Sir Conan Doyle about his observational detective Sherlock Holmes. This particular collection has 12 different stories, all from the perspective of Watson. My Personal favorite of the stories included is five orange pips, one of the better more intriguing tales of Holmes. But honestly my biggest problem with this book, and it is a small one, is how Doyle writes it creates this dragging feeling making it hard to read massive amounts at one time.

There are eleven stories in the second of the Sherlock Holmes connections, where we see Doyle expanding the fictional universe: we have a couple of accounts of Holmes' adventures before he met Watson, we have Mycroft and the relationship with the French painter Vernet, we have the recovery of a treaty lost by the Foreign Secretary's nephew, and most of all we have Moriarty. The best of these is the first, "Silver Blaze", which is the one about the missing race-horse with the original curious incident of the dog in the night-time. Several of the others, unfortunately, have almost the same solution as "Silver Blaze"."The Final Problem" is a good bit of writing, as Holmes and Watson pursue each other to (apparently) mutual destruction in Switzerland, but has no real ... MoreThere are eleven stories in the second of the Sherlock Holmes connections, where we see Doyle expanding the fictional universe: we have a couple of accounts of Holmes' adventures before he met Watson, we have Mycroft and the relationship with the French painter Vernet, we have the recovery of a treaty lost by the Foreign Secretary's nephew, and most of all we have Moriarty.

There is also the peculiar story of the bloke whose wife turns out to have a black daughter by her previous marriage; some peculiar racist psychology going on there.

I love Sherlock Holmes books, and this was interesting. I find that the short story format might not have been the most attention grabbing, there leaves little time to set up the mystery, it is pretty quick to the conclusion and amazing deduction. Good, but I like the longer stories a little better.

Edition is Amazing

I've always loved the Sherlock Holmes stories, but Reader's Digest has really taken them over the top with this beautiful edition. I love how the print is decently-sized, yet the books are not heavy and awkward. Not to mention the books look amazing as a collector's item! :)
