Reading Skills

            I have recently been reading The Complete Sherlock Holmes (its really long)  The plethora of stories time after time never stop to amaze me.  I'm always wondering whats gonna happen next and always trying to find the constant clues hidden throughout the text.  Currently there are a lot of things going on but the main conflict is that there is what appears to be a mystical wolf killing members of a certain prosperous family in a certain area and i believe that it is just going to be rivals of the family trying to create a panic in the area and take possession of the family's wealth.  I feel that throughout the book Watson feels rather clueless to what his friend is up to and what is going on at times, sometimes i feel like this in real life.  Also i see that the plot of the adventures are very similar to those in modern times, I believe that they took inspiration from Sherlock Holmes.  Also the mysteries are very similar at times to the present times in the fact that they sometimes bring in foreigners and often revenge.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes  Mood and tone

             The Mood and tone are big parts of The Complete Sherlock Holmes they set the pace and cause dramatic moments in the plot.  This encourages the reader to continue on because of the feeling of suspense that is created.  The overall mood of the book is normally dark but at times it can jump to a happy mood.  The tone that time book creates is normally morose but at times giddy this adds a nice mix to everything that will help keep the reader entertained.  Parts throughout the book's many stories show evidence to support these, like the constant murders and thefts setting a dark mood and on the flip side when the mystery is solved everyone is full of joy because of the resolution.

Book recommendation The Complete Sherlock Holmes

             The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle is a collection of a bunch of original Sherlock Holmes stories.  Every one of these thought provoking stories is a jolt of understanding to the mind when a crime is solved and all of them keep up an amazing moderate pace based on all of the detail and the time span that each of these take place in.  Since it is a little bit older stories it could be somewhat of a struggle for readers that are not as strong but with the use of context clues the stories and language can be quite easy to understand (in my opinion).  The book provides a Very good mix of action and puzzles as well as the overall mysteries so anyone that likes any of these things would probably enjoy this book.  I would give this book a 5/5 stars as of right now.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes 
By: Arthur Conan Doyle


                  While reading through this book I have become even more intrigued with how the villains through the book almost always have a good and just reason for their crimes, even if they were murder or something of the sort.  I also find it funny how the book expresses different ideas than the modern day interpretations of the adventures of Holmes, and Watson.  In today's re-incarnations of the stories there is much more violence than in the original tales of mystery and puzzle.  What are some of the differences you see? Tell me in the comments.
The Complete Sherlock Holmes 
By: Arthur Conan Doyle


              The Book The Complete Sherlock Holmes By: Arthur Conan Doyle is an incredible piece of literature with allot of complex and interesting characters that shape the way that the story develops and the turns that it takes.  The Main Character is obviously Sherlock Holmes but all of the stories are from the perspective of Watson.  He is shown to be almost an opposite to Holmes when they first meet and this turns out to help them as they start their adventures together through mystery after mystery when Watson will be more level headed than Holmes and provides valuable advice.  More than once he diverts a crisis or makes an important discovery that helps the story make a turn for the better sometimes saving ones life.  He acts kind and courteous to almost every other characters (except the villains) and tries to help and be kind to even the random stranger in need.  Through the story he becomes more mature in his thought process and becomes very keen on Holmes's mysteries and doings.  He helps bring out the theme of crime doesn't pay and that it is good to educate yourself on important matters.
