Dec 27, Mark Heath rated it it was amazing. A good classic, worth a read. Jan 04, Lisa Hapney rated it it was amazing. If you read my about page you'll notice that I mention mysteries, which I don't often review as my taste in mysteries isn't always the same as others. This was a great buy from Amazon at 99 cents for the Kindle and the stories are in order and aren't abridged, which I felt was important. I don't want to read a book or story after someone who feels they 'know better' has taken a whack at censorship.

Apparently there is another collection on Amazon that has 56 short stories for a few dollars more, but I didn't see that one when I was out shopping around. On the whole, I was pretty happy with this purchase and really enjoyed reading it in between my sci-fi and fantasy books. I was a fan of the old Sherlock Holmes movies when I was young, but had not read the actual books or short stories.

For the time they were written these stories really cover some pretty gutsy territory with regard to social issues. For anyone who enjoys mysteries and hasn't taken the time to read the stories, instead of watching movies like I did up until now, I think you will find a richness and depth that was not always present especially in the older versions of the movies. Anyway, lots more sci-fi and fantasy books on the schedule to be reviewed, but I thought I would share a review for this collection as I consider it to be a really good bargain and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jan 02, Terry Cornell rated it really liked it Shelves: crime-fiction. The first book I 'finished' reading in I actually started reading this last year--usually about a story a week. Some stories I remember reading in my youth, others totally unfamiliar. After reading it all, how can you help not thinking somewhat like Sherlock? Some stories more formula than others, some more mysterious than others, but they all end up solved.

Such classic stories.

Jul 30, Becky rated it really liked it. After three long months, I've finally finished the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes 56 short stories, 4 novels.

Some stories were clearly superior to others, but overall I enjoyed it. I'll be analyzing it with new eyes after reading this collection.

Sep 18, David rated it it was amazing. Perfect and Complete It's all here, exactly as Doyle wrote it. The greatest detective of fiction in all his original glory. If you're new to the real Sherlock, it's time to catch up. Feb 12, Vivienne rated it really liked it Shelves: year-of-the-monkey. Dec 12, jacob hutchens rated it it was amazing. I've read it cover to cover multiple times.

Sherlock Holmes never gets old. It's a series that can be read over and over without getting repetitive. Having all the stories together is great. I enjoyed some of the books, but felt some of them were predictable. I do love the writing style, however, and Doyle's gift for language.

After three months of listening to the audiobook. I have finally completed the Sherlock Holmes Collection. I absolutely adored it. Aug 10, Jared rated it it was amazing. I've read a good number of Sherlock Holmes' stories in my life but never, until now, have I read the entirety of Conan Doyle's works about the most famous of fictional detectives 4 novels and 56 stories. I found each story superbly crafted, and there's probably not much to be said in this review that hasn't been said better and by someone with authority to make literary declamations elsewhere.

So I will dispense with the idea of a literary review of these works and content myself with some c I've read a good number of Sherlock Holmes' stories in my life but never, until now, have I read the entirety of Conan Doyle's works about the most famous of fictional detectives 4 novels and 56 stories.

So I will dispense with the idea of a literary review of these works and content myself with some comments on what I found to be the most compelling features of these stories. First, Conan Doyle used the affable Dr. Watson to great effect to "hide" the solution to each puzzle and create a dramatic reveal at the story's end. What was perhaps most interesting to me is that, I progressed through the stories, I found myself more and more following the clues and beginning to guess what turned out to be the mystery's solution.

Now, in most detective stories, that is a terrible flaw in the story's design. However, it works to an interesting effect in the Holmes' canon because the reader who begins to follow Holmes' deductive reasoning ends up with an advantage over the story's narrator, Dr. Thus, the reader still feels satisfied even when the solution is guessed early on. I find that an exceedingly clever play on the narrator-reader relationship. The character of Holmes' himself to me has always been an icon of the "ideal modern man" Here is a man who is "pure mind" and thus indomitable to his foes Except Holmes is NOT that simple of a figure.

The genius of Holmes is his ability to "embody" the criminals he pursues, imagine their motives, and thereby guess their essential moves. I'd never noticed the tremendous influence of these core Romantic ideals in the figure of Holmes until I took the time to work my way through the corpus. Conan Doyle is an enviable talent because of the evenness of the collection both in quality and tone. His preface to "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" indicated to me an author who had grown tired of the character; so often, when that happens, the quality of craftsmanship begins to noticeably slip.

Admirably, Conan Doyle added an additional 32 stories as well as the finest of the Holmes' novels in my opinion , "The Hound of the Baskervilles," after reaching that point.

For me, there was no discovery of "hidden gems" within the larger collection because each story is so like the most famous pieces think here of the "Adventure of Silver Blaze" or "The Red-Headed League". I suppose there's nothing particularly admirable or noteworthy about completing a feat such as this. Calling it a "feat" is also an overstatement of the case. But I can say this: it was a very satisfying venture.

And deservedly so. Aug 28, Jon R. I officially fell in love with Sherlock after watching the BBC series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, which had become one of my favorite shows ever. I knew eventually I wanted to read the original material all of it so finding this amazing, complete collection as it was originally presented was just perfect and exactly what I had hoped for. Before reading this, I of course had also seen the Robert Downey Jr films as well, and I also played, and thoroughly enjoyed, the two very w I officially fell in love with Sherlock after watching the BBC series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, which had become one of my favorite shows ever.

I had a lot of fun reading. I love the idea of Sherlock and the importance of the premise of deduction. It can be applied to every day life and I was always one who needed to know the logic behind everything which could sometimes only be explained by thoughtful reasoning.

Understanding what makes our world go round or what goes round our world always fascinated me. One of the things I most enjoyed was trying to guess the answer before Holmes would reveal it in his usual dramatic fashion. You get better as you read and become more familiar with his methods. I was proud to figure out the huge "who" early on in one story however not the entire "how" as only Sherlock knew the complete details. The character truly felt alive and authentic throughout the entire series.

The writing was cleverly done from Watson's point of view, where it always kept you steps behind Sherlock - right where you should be. Doyle never wavered, nor did any novel or collection ever feel out of place when it concerned our main characters. That said, there are only two times I can recall where I felt both detached from the series and where it went on a bit longer than I think was necessary.

It was the second half of the novels "Study In Pink" and "Valley of Fear" when the story would focus on characters involved after the fact in order to provide the back story. While I certainly appreciated the idea, those parts were more companion books than a continuation. They were just as long as the main story, albeit indeed interesting but you just yearned to get back to our main protagonists. As much as I enjoyed it all to the point I would have given 5 stars regardless I do have to make note of one significant criticism.

I wish there was more of a connecting narrative between everything. Moriarty could have been it but he was very underused. Considering my first venture into Sherlock was the RDJ movies and then the BBC series before reading, imagine my surprise how little he appears in these works.

I was under the impression he played a much larger role. While we did get a great introduction to Sherlock and Watson when they met which began it all, we did not get a legitimate defining conclusion in the same manner. I wanted that "final case" when Sherlock finally decided it was time to retire.

That would have completed the narrative enough. All in all, a most pleasurable read all the same! Reading these stories again, 19 years after I was first introduced to Sherlock Holmes, is like having a long conversation with an old friend. I decided to reread them after watching a few episodes of the Sherlock series on Netflix, and realized immediately that the show doesn't even compare to the brilliance of the books, at least for me.

Holmes is such a compelling character that it's not surprising how often he's been reimagined and reinvented, but there's nothing quite like the original--he's Reading these stories again, 19 years after I was first introduced to Sherlock Holmes, is like having a long conversation with an old friend.

Holmes is such a compelling character that it's not surprising how often he's been reimagined and reinvented, but there's nothing quite like the original--he's clever, complex, intelligent, and funny in such an understated way that you might miss half of it on a first reading.

And poor, long-suffering Watson is a lovely narrator and voice of the audience. I really get a feel for him when Holmes is As a person who reacts viscerally to my reading material, to the point of talking back to it at times, it's hard not to roll my eyes, laugh, and call Holmes an ass when he's being particularly harsh.

Ah, I've missed you, old chaps. Good to have you back. Jun 26, Radhika rated it it was ok Shelves: sherlock-mysteries , disliked-reads. I am taking it off my reading list, might read it when I really have nothing else to read! I find it really tedious, together with less interest makes it even more difficult task to complete the whole book. It's too much to take in, though I understand from the author's perspective in that era those views are considered normal, but reading in this generation it's hard to digest!

I find adaptation of Sherlock Holmes by other authors are more convincing and thrilling to my satisfaction. But original is always an original, so my respect to his works, if not he penned there wouldn't be a Sherlock Holmes or John Watson for us. Therefore 2 stars. Jun 01, Watsh rated it it was amazing.

Quote i liked - Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes the genius. One can only wonder what a unique imagination Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had to have penned 56 short stories and 4 novels without failing to impress the readers and immortalizing the characters of these stories, Most used word - Singular Remarks by Sherlock Holmes - The game is afoot Watson!

One can only wonder what a unique imagination Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had to have penned 56 short stories and 4 novels without failing to impress the readers and immortalizing the characters of these stories, be it Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson, Professor Moriarty, Inspectors Lestrade, Gregson and numerous other characters.

The prose is beautiful and transports the reader to the gothic London of s where people come to seek help from the great amateur detective Mr Sherlock Holmes who lives at B Baker Street. These stories are a must read for anyone interested in mystery fiction. May 14, Anna Sojourning rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: anyone. Shelves: mystery. I am sad -- devastated, rather -- that I have now read every single Sherlock Holmes book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and that there are no more for me to read.

Each and every story is brilliant and engrossing. The character of Sherlock Holmes is charming and likeable, and his close friendship with Dr.

Watson is very endearing. Don't order this collection of books unless you have a lot of time on your hands; because once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down! I can't count how many times I've read these stories either to myself or, as this most recent time, aloud.

The stories are quite enjoyable even when you may remember "who done it". The read dates are so far apart as this is a bedtime read, just a few pages or so and not everyday. I do wish that it were easier to skip around to different stories rather than having to "thumb through the pages" but it really isn't so bad and the price is right. Doesn't Contain all the Stories I was a bit disappointed that this is actually described as "almost all" of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
