ichidoll's review against another edition
5.0
Necesito aprender a hacer reseñas.
Creo que de los 3 que llevo de Sherlock Holmes es el que mas me ha gustado por la variedad de las historias.
Obviamente no puedo separarme del Show de BBC y de las películas de RDJ, sin embargo veo que, si la mejor adaptación es BBC, lo siento (de esas dos).
En cuanto al libro, creo haberlo mencionado, al final el villano resulta bastante obvio pero es my entretenido leer hasta el final lo que ocurre. Esto también se puede deber a que para el tiempo en que estas Aventuras fueron escritas quienes las leían no tenían los antecedentes que tenemos ahora, tanto en lecturas como en programas de televisión que de una forma u otra nos han enseñado a discernir el contenido y dar la respuesta al misterio.
En otra nota: No me he topado con el subtexto que todo mundo dice existe desde los libros hasta la serie de tv para indicar que Sherlock es gay por Watson, tal vez me falta leer mas o meterme mas a fondo a este asunto.
Fue un buen libro para finalizar mi 2017 y cumplir una de mis metas que era por fin leer estos libros.

missym's review against another edition
Brilliantly written, reading Sherlock Holmens (and not just watch the movies) is a must. It influenced mystery novels untill this day still, and achieving this type of writing is an art in itself

I listened to the whole thing on Spotify from Phoebe Reads A Mystery. Her narration is so good.
Having finished this collection, I have found the BBC Sherlock the most far-fetched portrayal of ACD’s Sherlock Holmes. I think the closest would be CBS Elementary’s Sherlock. Sherlock, simply, wasn’t a sociopath. It was clear in many instances how socially attuned he was. In A Case of Identity, he was very kind to the woman and to so many women and young folks in his adventures. The ending of The Blue Carbuncle, when Sherlock decided that it was better that he had made an honest man instead of surrendering the guy to the law, I saw the kindness which I’ve always believed a feat to the intelligent. I am now and always more drawn to the benevolent detectives who cared about the people enough to be kind to them and to take their matters seriously (Benoit Blanc from Knives Out, Sherlock and Joan Watson from Elementary, and ACD’s Sherlock) instead of smug “I am smarter and better than you and I don’t care what you make of that”.
PS
This wasn’t a very well thought-out review but I gave all of this a five star rating because I couldn’t put it down and when I did, I looked forward to continuing it. I love John and Sherlock. I think ACD has written it in such a way that I am always pleasantly surprised even if I have guessed it and never betrayed when it turns out I haven’t. Great character from a great writer.
