4.0
Interesting and addicting in a way. This book had about a 1000 pages, and although I did not think the stories extremely smart, they are different from anything else I have read. (I don't usually read detective or mystery.) Each story is short, so it is nice to start and finish them in a small amount of time. I also liked getting an idea of late nineteenth, early twentieth century England, and I liked Holmes' character, but especially liked Watson. The first half of the book mentions Watson being married, and the second half he does not seem to be married anymore. What happened to Mrs. Watson?? I debated about giving only 3 stars for these short stories, but leaned toward 4 for posterity's sake I suppose. I think they will continue to find an audience well into future generations.
