Mungkin saya yang kurang jeli, tapi baru di buku asli karya sir Arthur Conan Doyle ini saya menemukan sudut pandang orang ke-tiga, bukan dr. Watson. Tapi itu hanya di bab 2 besarnya. Yang pasti, endingnya ngetwist banget, tapi mungkin bagi yang jeli bakal sudah ngebaca dari clue clue yang dipaparkan.

The 'Hound Of The Baskervilles' is a perfect old fashioned crime story. On the other hand 'The valley of fears' part 1 is the only part where the particular Sherlock Holmes look and feel can be sensed. Part 2 was not interesting at all.

"The Valley of Fear" follows somewhat the same structure of "A Study in Scarlet", where to understand the main story it was necessary to know a previous and seemingly unrelated story. It was interesting but it's no contenter to be the best book of the series.

Fucking superb you funky little detective

A great read, loved it.

Como siempre, los libros de Sherlock Holmes los tengo que leer por partes porque el misterio no es mi género preferido y de repente se me puede hacer un poco tedioso. Pero aquí me encontré una gran excepción: el sabueso de los Baskerville, la cual oficialmente se ha convertido en mi novela favorita de Holmes. Simplemente, cuando empezó el misterio no podía parar de leer, y me tuvo en suspenso total todo el relato; como siempre, la narración de Watson espectacular y escalofriante, de verdad. En fin, solo por el sabueso este se lleva 4 estrellas (El valle del terror también me gustó, pero nada como el primero).

yes i'm a sherlockian

3,5/5
“It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull.”
Šajā grāmatā es īpaši novērtēja, ka stāstu stāsta doktors Vatsons, nevis galvenais varonis - Šerloks Holms, jo mēs redzējām vienkāršāku izskaidrojumu visam.
Grāmatai es dodu papildus punktus par to, ka tajā bija pieminētas vietas, kurās es paviesojos (tai skaitā Beikerstrītā 221b), kad es biju Šerloka un Vatsona pilsētā
Šie Šerloka Holmsa stāsti nezinu, kāpēc man nepaliek atmiņā. Tas droši vien nozīmē, ka es nebiju šausmīgi ieinteresēta stāsta notikumos.

Short stories are definitely Sherlock's way. These 2 novels are fantastic but lack the amazing pace you find in Doyle's short stories.

I just finished this two separate novels and like it very much even though I had a felling of deja vu with the Valley of Fear because of the way it was plotte, when compared with A study in scarlet.

I loved the hound of the Baskervilles which way my first encounter with Sherlock Holmes. My very first Holmes story that I studied at school. I found the flash black part of the valley of a Fear a little bit too long for my taste and not as compelling as A study in scarlet , which makes me give only four stars to this two combined novels.
Otherwise I recommend it to those who are interested to read more of Holmes and Watson’s adventures.

Let's face it: Hound of the Baskervilles is the only one of the Holmes novels which really approaches the quality of the short stories, which were where for the most part the Sherlock Holmes canon really shines. The Valley of Fear, in particular, was a clunky reversion to a structure much like that of A Study In Scarlet, complete with overlong detour to America.

Then again, this Wordsworth collection is at least modestly-priced. Hound is five stars, Valley is at best three stars, so let's split the difference and call the compilation four stars. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/202... and https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/202...

Lieliski!
