obvious tale of hound being used for cerebral warfare / games

Mostly wonderful, may switch to 5 stars if the story truly sticks with me

Delaney is actually reading this right now - she picked it up at a book swap. I wish I could still find these - I loved them!

76/100 (= 4.1/6) ≈ 4 Stars

After all the hardships, I can finally grab this book in my hand!

Well, not in this edition actually, I read it as in translation version of this, but since I can't find the translation version to be reviewed, I'll put my review in this edition.

The Hound of Baskervilles' case is one of another top story of Sherlock's series. I like how in this edition, Watson proves himself to be able to investigate the case without any lead from Sherlock (although at the same time Sherlock did his own investigation). I also love some chapter which was being delivered as in form of letter sent by Watson to Sherlock, instead of usual naration made by Watson.

The stories itself was more complicated than others, in my opinion, where the story was bounded with supernatural and how I was almost convinced that the Hound of Baskerville was existed (silly me) due to the fact and such things. The suspect? Well, I did have suspicion about him, but at the end I couldn't believe that he's the culprit, especially the reason behind it!

God, I love this book :)

Wow. Stellar book, I must say. I came across this book when my grandmother bought me this book in a big bundle of books. I perused through them and found this one. I am a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, and this book sparked an interest in me. I started reading it and got really confused. However, I eventually figured it out and got the hang of things. Skip the next paragraph if you do not want the book spoiled in a brief summary.

This book is about a hound that is killing people in the graveyard next to the Baskervilles home in London, England. Holmes and his partner Dr. Watson end up tracking the beast down and finding clues until the moment of finding the beast and killing it, barely saving the life of Sir Henry Baskerville, one of the inhabitants of the land. They later figure out that it was Stapleton, a rival heir to the throne who wanted to kill Sir Henry and Sir Charles, who had planned the whole thing and was later found dead in the Mire.

To me, this story is both natural and supernatural. This is because of the real aspect of the people and the places, but the supernatural when it comes to the hound. Before and After reading this book, my prediction followed through. I predicted that because the title says "and the case of the Hound of the Baskervilles" gave me a huge hint that there was going to be a hound. This is the main point of the story. A hound that needs to be stopped from killing people. The style of this story is very nice in giving detail about things. There are few hard words and it flows easily. I would recommend this book to children eight and up because it is a classic Sherlock Holmes book but it does have some gruesome details. Thanks for reading.

Sherlock Holmes is asked by Dr. Mortimer t help save Henry Baskerville from a family curse. They travel to the Baskerville estate to solve the mystery that killed Henry's uncle. They meet the Stapletons and it is discovered that Mr. Stapleton is a relative who wants to inherit. Mr. Stapleton trained a large dog to be the hound from the family legend to kill off his relatives.
The scene where Sherlock Holmes and Watson found a body and thought it was Henry Baskerville. The author uses the setting of the dark moor to bring tension to the scene. They travel through stones, branches, crags and shadow to reach the body. The reader feels the tension as he is drawn into the moor.
The theme of this book is good will triumph over evil. Mr. Stapleton was trying to murder family to inherit. Sherlock Holmes and Watson is a tangible representation of good. They use their knowledge to stop the villain.
I really liked this book because I enjoy a good mystery. This book had a lot of suspense as they tried to figure out the murder. I liked the plot twists that kept me guessing. I would recommend this book to any one.

niceeeee :)

Audible by Stephen Fry

great

Finally! A book in this illustrated classics series I liked well enough to give 5 stars. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are a formidable team, and they sleuth out the mystery of the deadly hound curse surrounding the Baskerville family and the moors around the family home.

Ketegangan yang diakibatkan teror dari Anjing Hound sangat terasa. Interaksi antara Holmes dan Watson juga lucu
