A great mistery and a great solving, as always, but I have to say I prefer Agatha Christie's books to the ones written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I think they are more surprising in their endings and facts.
In the future, I'd like to try the original edition, since this was only an adapted one, destined for people who are still learning English.

It was interesting to read while thinking about the mystery and the murderer this and that. However, this book found more difficult than other level 5 Graded Readers recently I have read. The way of the representation of the atmosphere and character's thought was especially unique. I wondered that maybe it is because this story is a classic novel, even though it was rewritten for English learners.

The story is so greaaaat! the mistery around the hill, the Baskerville family terror, and how Holmes and Watson solved it was so amazing as always. The more why i liked this story it is because this book is quite horror with the hound. And i satisfied!

The hound of the Baskerville is amazing story. Reading this book made me act like i'm a detective (sherlock holmes) wkwk. Anyway, for some detective stories it's better if you watch the movie. Just like the hound of the baskerville, i love the movie more than this. But everyone has their own way to enjoy the story.
