The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes short review

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A nice collection of short mysteries solved with all the flare we expect from the legends of Holmes and Watson. The best in my opinion being "The Scandal in Bohemia" where we meet the only woman to outwit the great detective, "The Five Orange Pips" involving the possible ruin of the KKK, and "The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet" where we see the good in bad people and the bad in those seen as good.

Day 17 Book Photo Challenge: Favorite Classic

I picked A Study in Scarlet as my favorite classic but, honestly, I could have picked any of the Sherlock books that I have read as my favorite because I just love the character.
As I have said previously I didn't start reading classics until I got my kindle four years ago for Christmas and was a broke university student who discovered free books from the Gutenberg Project. Since then I have read quite a few but I found that the Sherlock books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle speak to me the most because they are the most like what I normally read in modern fiction. Smart characters that get one (or several) up of the authority figures of the piece but are a little bit broken them self.
