Great experience to have read it, and now know where the Sherlock Holmes empire began - but the stories definitely get formulaic so I read the book in segments throughout the year so as not to get bored with it.

It takes a little while to get used to the style of the writing, but once you get into the flow it is really quite nice. I enjoyed the original version of the character Sherlock Holmes, and quite a few of the stories were still very thrilling even in a modern age.
