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 book was pretty good! My only regret is that I read the series out of order (3rd book first). While the stories are written in such a way that you can pick up and end where ever, because they are a collection of short stories, the end of the book is definitively a wind down of Watson and Holmes which is sad. They are still great minds and mysteries behind their solving. But, I wanted to keep reading more of their tales.

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.
