3.5

While fun and intriguing short stories that move quickly on their own, the Sherlock Holmes stories can be a bit wordy and tedious to read through. They are certainly better read one by one at varying times, rather than back to back as you would a novel, but that is how they're intended, so I cant count that as a negative. I'm sure there are some very good audio book versions out there, that might make reading all the stories in sequence a bit more bearable and less time consuming.
