Finally finished all the Sherlock Holmes stories! The Valley of Fear (the first novella) leaves something to be desired, but all the other stories are very enjoyable. Nice to see some stories with an older Holmes and Watson as well.

I have finished the complete Sherlock Holmes cannon. I enjoyed the stories a great deal. I also noticed that the character of Sherlock Holmes has come to be known primarily as an infallible, almost super human individual. This isn't really how I felt he was written by Doyle. Interesting to contrast the real Sherlock Holmes with the many portrayals of him in so many media formats.

This is the end of the SH stories, I'll miss Holmes & Watson very much! Can see where so many threads of modern detective stories cone back to these original tales.
