The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

This book took me an extremely long time to finish because I did not like the format. Instead of one complex mystery throughout the whole book, it was short stories. This meant I did not have time to really get into the story before Holmes was already explaining what happened. But I did enjoy all the characters and mysteries. I would like to read some other Sherlock Holmes book. My favorite character was Watson, even though he is not as clever as Sherlock. Some people think Watson is dumb, but Holmes can not tolerate being around slow people. Therefore why would he have Watson around if he wasn't in some way helpful. Its not that Watson is slow, it is just in comparison to Sherlock he is not observant making him look confused in most cases. What I find interesting is that Sherlock takes interest in things that some people wouldn't even think is linked to a crime. It probably took years of practice and experience, and some natural born talent, to have the amount of logic Holmes uses. Another thing that is interesting is some of the mysteries that Sherlock Holmes had are used and the crime fighting shows today.
