This is the final Sherlock Holmes book, and while it is enjoyable, I think "Casebook" is the weakest collection of Sherlock stories. Having gone through all nine books this summer, it really seems like Doyle was so tired of the character that he was phoning it in by the 1920s.

But I did have some favorites in the bunch: "The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone," in which Holmes uses that wacky new gizmo called a phonograph to fool some criminals; "The Problem of Thor Bridge" has an ingenious method of framing someone for murder using a rock, a handgun and some string; and "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs," because Sherlock shows genuine feeling for Dr. Watson when he gets shot in the leg while on a case. "It was worth a wound, it was worth many wounds, to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask."

Despite the unevenness of this story collection, it was bittersweet for me. I'm sad that my summer of Sherlock is now over. I've spent the past two and a half months listening to the marvelous actor Derek Jacobi narrate all nine books of Holmes, and he really made the great detective come alive. If any of you Goodreaders want to delve into the Sherlock canon, I recommend letting Jacobi be your guide.

With this book I have re-read the entire Sherlock Holmes canon. I loved every minute and will probably do it again several times with whatever amount of time I have left to me.

The complete canon would be a great desert island suggestion.

A tip--get these books with the original illustrations. Makes them even more fun.

Zawiodłam się na tym "całościowym" rereadzie Sherlocka. W mojej głowie zapisały się wspomnienia mile spędzonego czasu, ekscytacji i sympatii do głównego bohatera. Tymczasem okazuje się, że jest z tym wszystkim krucho :/
Niemniej, ostatni tom okazał się być w miarę znośny.

It is Sir Doyle. Can you expect anything less than completely entertaining and genius stories?
“Life, it turns out, is infinitely more clever and adaptable than anyone had ever supposed.”
I can't even say much about this book except that I stayed up till 4 am reading because I love Sherlock Holmes.
My Favourite story has to be The Problem of Thor Bridge and The Adventure of Sussex Vampire.

متعة غموض طرافة ترجمة جيدة.
لقد كانت حقًا رحلة جميلة برفقة كتاب تمنيت ألا ينتهي.

Conan Doyle at his most offensive.

Y con este libro termino la saga de Sherlock Holmes.
Creo que echaré de menos su sagacidad y sus peculiaridades,...aunque no descartó releer alguna de sus historias.
En este libro, Holmes relata algunas de sus historias (es lo que más me ha gustado, la capacidad de Conan Doyle de reflejar como escriben distintas personalidades,...).
Entretenido.

I am done with all the Sherlock Holmes canon!! Almost can’t believe it! I’m so glad that I finally went on this journey and got to experience this character that I’ve been fascinated with since before I can really remember. Well worth the journey. And I really liked this collection, it was probably the most varied of the collections, and we actually got to see Sherlock narrate a couple of the stories, which I was hoping would happen eventually!

‘The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes’, like all the other collections, is a must read for every mystery fan. As always, some stories are better than others, but all are pure Sherlock at his best. While not the most famous of Sherlock’s cases, Shoscombe Old Place and The Illustrious Client are excellent examples of the Sherlock canon, while The Blanched Soldier and The Lion’s Mane, both narrated by Holmes, are unique variations on a tried and true format. Yet, perhaps the best story in the entire canon, is The Problem of Thor Bridge, a classic locked room tale!

"Das Notizbuch von Sherlock Holmes" enthält einige der weniger bekannten Fälle des größten Privatdetektivs aller Zeiten. Einige der Geschichten werden von seinem Freund Dr. Watson erzählt, andere von Holmes selbst. Holmes ist der Superheld meiner Kindheit, daher habe ich dieses Buch bereits ein paar Mal gelesen, aber einige der Handlungsstränge habe ich glücklicherweise vergessen.

Diesmal habe ich mir ein Hörbuch auf Deutsch angehört, um mein Deutschverständnis zu verbessern – und damit zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe geschlagen: Unterhaltung und Bildung.;)

O último livro de SH. Lido.
Não acredito que não tem mais nenhum para ler.
Agora é começar a reler.
