Product Description:
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of the first twelve short stories based on the famous detective, including the cases of The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band, and A Scandal in Bohemia. Holmes will need to use his various skills, including an aptitude for acting and disguise, tracking footprints, hand to hand combat, deciphering different types of tobacco ash, and knowledge of psychology to solve cases of blackmail, treachery and murder. Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning, astute observation,and forensic skills to solve difficult cases. Deductive reasoning allows Holmes to impressively reveal a stranger's occupation. Similarly, by studying inanimate objects, he is able to make astonishingly detailed deductions about their owners. This mindset was a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, inspiring authors like Robert J. Sawyer, Neil Gaiman and Stephen King.

this was a fine collection of adventures that I really enjoyed. It is getting harder to find writings as good as this. A friend recommned this to me.

This book never failed to entertain me. With its fast paced plot and compelling mysteries, I was never once bored. However, I see how this book could be confusing and wierd to younger and less experienced readers. Reading this on the Kindle really helped me understand more what was going on because I had quick and easy acess to a dictionary.
Overall, it was oneof my favorites, but could be a challenging read.

Sherlock Holmes is such a classic novel in itself, and I don't know anyone who either has read it and hated it or has read and re-read it and been bored by it. I love having the Kindle version and I am looking forward to re-reading it soon again, hopefully.

Good collection of short stories that tends to get a bit repetitive and wear down as it goes on. Excellent value for the price though.

I "bought" this to try out the Kindle app for Blackberry. The stories are short enough to enjoy when you have a few minutes of "alone time" to read. I only made it through the first three stories and they were well written and well produced in this format.
