Me lo he leído para la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas y retomar la lectura en inglés y totalmente worth it. Es un libro sencillo de leer (ya que es nivel intermedio), los relatos son breves y rápidos. No es mal libro porque es interesante y te tiene enganchado, es simplemente Arthur Conan Doyle y su grandioso Sherlock Holmes.

As an introduction to Sherlock Holmes stories, this simplified edition (aimed at 14-16 year old non native speakers) was an ok read. The three stories that are told in this book are:

- The Speckled Band
- The Five Orange Pips
- The Crown of Diamonds


Luckily I also have a non simplified edition with SH stories (that also includes the first two stories from this edition) and I hope the 'real' stories are less straightforward than these. But I believe that this edition is an excellent and challenging read for students learning English.

The adventures were plain and seen-through - except The Five Orange Pips which was rather dull - unlike the habit of the great Sherlock Holmes.
