Sherlock Holmes: The Blue Diamond

by Bill Bowler, Arthur Conan Doyle

'He's an intelligent man. He was once rich and is now poor. His wife loved him once, but she doesn't love him now. And he's thirty or forty years old.' One look at an old hat, and Sherlock Holmes can tell you a lot about its owner. He sees - and thinks - a lot more than the people around him, and when a beautiful blue diamond disappears, Sherlock is the only man in London who can find it.

I remember reading this little book very vividly when I was a child. It was way better back then. The art is pretty tho.

كم تمنيت أن أقرأ أرثر بلغته الأصلية وهذا أنا فعلتُ أخيرًا ،تبقى فقط أجاثا كريستي أن أقرأ لها هي ايضا ،لكن الطريق لها الطويل نوعا ما ،ولكن بالعزيمة سوف أحقق ذلك :)

تدور القصة حول عثور شارلوك على قبعة قديمة وبدأ بالاستناجه المعروف بالذكاء ، حتى توصل إلى أن صاحب القبعة قد أشترى أوزة والأوزة لها علاقة بالقضية حول الكونستية التي فقدت ألماسها ذي اللون الأزرق ،ثم يتوصل إلى أن صاحبة الاوزة هي اخت الذي سرق ألماسة فقام بأطعامها الاوزة كي يبتعد عن شكوك الشرطة ، لكنني لم أفهم سبب عدم وجود ستكلوناديارد أو عدم قبض شارلوك على مجرم وتركه حرًا طليقًا، ألانه بكى أمامه فتركه في حال سبيله أم ماذا ؟

Very great story.. as the other stories of the fabulous detective... and i like it soooo much ...everything was arranged and i can see that every thing has been discovered by Sherlock..not the coincidence like other stories...i don't want at first to give this book 5 stars because in the second page as i think ..sherlock says that the man was clever because he saw that his hat was big then his head was big and that means he is intelligent and that doesn't make sense but then i make my mind because that clue is not important at all and it doesn't help...

Chyba za dobrze znam Sherlocka, bo nie było dla mnie niespodzianką jego zachowanie w tym opowiadaniu.

I read this because my sister told me it was boring. So I thought I could prove her wrong. In the end, I got bored too. 😂

This book was so interesting. And I loved how he took no help and solved the very hard case by himself. I really liked his character because he is very smart. I love how he investigated different shops, and got small clues which could lead to the diamond. This book make the reader suspicious about what’s going to happen next and where can he find the diamond. I really like the plot twist which made the book even more interesting and exciting. I really like these kinds of detective movies.

this Dominoes Series of Sherlock Holmes is awesome! There are several Activities that help me a lot as a reader to develop my reading skills and increase active vocabulary. This book is enjoyable!

I love this types of books, mystery, who's guilty? or who's the killer? :P

[Julian Peralta · Rating 2 out of 5]

it was for school, I honestly don't remeber a thing about it, just that it was pretty boring. Anyway, do not take my review as serious as someone elses that actually read the book because they like mistery and Holmes.

Lo tuve que leer para ingles particular OBLIGADAMENTE, pero bueno, igual estuvo entretenido.

Al final sherlock es un bobi, para mi que le tendria q haber dicho todo a la policia, pobre el tipo que tuvo q ir a la cárcel sin ser culpable.

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great didactisized version! Devided into small, managable sections including pictures and various pages with many different pre/while/post tasks one could use. Appropriate language and length vor young learners (:

[Lara Royo · Rating 2 out of 5]

Una historia bastante simplona pero fácil lectura para estudiantes de 1°- 2° e incluso 3°ESO. Un poco desfasado eso de que el sombrero está sucio porque su esposa no le quiere, de lo contrario, las esposas que quieren a sus maridos les lavan el sombrero. Que se lo laven ellos, querido Watson...

A simple and straightforward story.

[Margarita · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entretenido. Una buena herramienta para aprender inglés ya que al tener que estar pendiente de cada movimiento de Sherlock hace que el alumno se esfuerce un poco más por comprenderlo todo.

my man never disappoints

[W.A. Haque · Rating 3 out of 5]

short and quick read , could work as a fun palette cleanser , nothing mind blowing like the usual sherlock holmes , but still great as a 40 page story.

[Jana · Rating 5 out of 5]

really good and fun for children or people of all ages in general

[Adam Musayev · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can't understand ending

[Ilearnenglish · Rating 4 out of 5]

This simplified book is very good, the story is very interresting for this level (thanks to Arthur Conan Doyle and his legendary Sherlock Holmes!), not too short not too long, and well illustrated. You have notes in english to understand complicate words. To my great surprise the audio part is well done, with a typical english accent and it's slow enough, so that people who learn english can understand, but it's not boring.

[Andy Hickman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, text adapted by Bill Bowler, “Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Blue Diamond” (Oxford, 2004)

Fantastic adaptation with clever activities after each chapter. These activities are creative and challenging for young readers, providing stimulating and though-provoking ways for parents and their children to investigate the case themselves and development cognitive skills.

شارلوك هولمز خارق الذكاء يكتشف الحقائق بطريقة بارعة جدا...
صحيح أن القصة قصيرة جدا لكنها رائعة
فأسلوب هولمز في اكتشاف ملابسات الجريمة ساحر و سريع و منطقي ولا يترك مجالا للشك لدى القارئ..
أسلوب جذاب غاية في الروعة و الإثارة و التشويق ^_^
