Sherlock Holmes Short Stories

by Anthony Laude, Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective of them all. He sits in his room, and smokes his pipe. He listens, and watches, and thinks. He listens to the steps coming up the stairs; he watches the door opening - and he knows what question the stranger will ask.
In these three of his best stories, Holmes has three visitors to the famous flat in Baker Street - visitors who bring their troubles to the only man in the world who can help them.

3.5 stars
Great book for mid-level readers. The little stories are captivating, and the text is adapted. It convinced me to read the complete book.

It's a very fantastic book , though the level is 5 but it's easy for the intermediate students...
It's very wonderful u can't start reading a story then stop .. it will attract u to read more ...
The plot in each story is very genius.... especially the last one ... i recommend this book
But the second story is like an Adventures story not a mystery one ...
The most complicated one is the last and the fourth ..

This was a fun book. The short stories are certainly creative, though they sometimes get a bit redundant in that, in good Holmes' fashion, details are described and Holmes is the only one who can put them all together. It did get me to be a better observer, though I can't quite figure a person out yet by his footprint.

Once again i amazed with that over-great detective, Sherlock Holmes. When i read this book, i was scared,the stories are scary, and i was alone in my bedroom. But i have got the beautiful sentence, when Watson attacked, Holmes got his tears and Watson realize that Holmes is the best friend he has ever had

Have read all of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and probably others as well, just never bothered to put them in to amazon or goodreads, so dates wrong. Some KU some paperback some hardback some collections.

Short stories, easy to read.

I like the mystery, but the writing, while ideal for short stories, sadly is not my favorite.

todas menos a primeira história são chatas

Book that I have read to continue improving my English learning.

I have to say that of the ones I have read, it has been the one I liked the most, both for its theme and its format, since they are small stories within the same book (some more interesting than others) but the reading did not bother me. It has become as boring as other books I have used to improve English.

Therefore, it fulfills its function very well in addition to being entertaining and enjoyable.

I would give it a 6.5/10

My Dear Watson

The greatest detective of all times...Sherlock Holmes!

Reading books which were written a long time ago always make me wonder about that particular period of time.
For example:
Did they already have telephones in 18something?
How did Holmes make a living, charges are only vaguely mentioned, I think. (Could one earn money by owning property as was the case in Jane Austen times, if I remember correctly?)
Is it
What’s up with the women?
I like his stick/ cane whatever, how did it look, was it made of wood, metal, silver?
and so on...

This book contains six different stories. It’s about a detective called Sherlock Holmes and his friend Watson. In the stories, they goes into different adventures to investigate about different cases. All of the stories are really exciting and it makes you want to keep on reading. Except some parts are a little bit scary and disgusting, for example, it talks about finding a bucket of blood, and eagles being chopped. Even though some parts are not very pleasing, this book is an addictive book.

One of the first books I've read in English. As an intermediate English student, this was smooth and easy reading. I recommend this book to all of you who want to improve your English, like me. So I am keeping fingers crossed and see you later, Mr. Holmes!

وقتي كلاس زبان مي رفتم اين شورت استوري را انتخاب كردم براي اينكه داستان هاي هولمز هميشه جذاب بود اما از بد حادثه انتخاب سطح بالايي بود و چيز زيادي از ماجرا دستگيرم نشد حتما سطح كتاب را در نظر بگيريد
