I’m not sure I’m that big of fan reading about Sherlock Holmes. This one was interesting in the fact that it stayed with the same story throughout unlike in the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes it bounces around a lot, but that kind of mystery just really isn’t my style.

This book is one of long story novels which were written by Conan Doyle.

The affair occured in the dismal.

A old man died of heart attack accidentally.He had seemed to be surprised by something.

What is thing that surprise him ?

It`s a very big dog like a beast!!

After then a few people who are relative of Baskervilles was dying. In addition prisoner broke jail….

The situation is more complex!!

What threaten the Baskervilles?

This story is little long and difficult,but it`s very thrilling!!

I want you to read it once. ( )

A classic.

"The Hound" does not have the most intricate plot, but it's tight and mostly believable. The imagery is striking and for me really takes the book up to a higher rating: I enjoyed the descriptions of the dark and foggy moors, the phantom hound baying, and the butler's creepy doings in the night - all of which created a very distinctive tone. Along with these types of elements, Holmes and his sidekick Watson have spawned so much of what we see today in books, TV, and film.

Favorite quote:
"My body has remained in this armchair, and has, I regret to observe, consumed in my absence two large pots of coffee and an incredible amouont of tobacco."

The short story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" was also included in this edition, and I was very surprised to read that Doyle considered it his best Holmes story. The setup is intriguing but the conclusion is far too contrived. ( )

The Hound of the Baskervilles was my first expedition into the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, and I greatly enjoyed the experience. As I have no means of comparison, I am not sure whether the style of the novel is consistent or singular in terms of Sherlock Holmes novels and stories, but I was delighted by the narration provided by Dr. Watson. As a narrator, he is faithful and consistent, and Doyle skillfully manipulates the character to both gain the reader's confidence and sense of security, while keeping many important facts close to his chest. Holmes, on the other hand, was detestable. From his very first introduction I felt repulsed by the character. For that reason, I am glad that the narrator was Watson and not the infamous detective himself. In the end, he played a relatively minor role, and the novel itself is very enjoyable. ( )

Really good books with a lot of suspense, mystery. But as you read this book, you "might" don't like Holmes because he is very arrogant to Watson. I think everybody should read this mystery book ( )
