The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I (Barnes & Noble Classics Series)

I have read a lot of books in my life, but nothing even comes close to Sherlock Holmes. It is without a doubt the best book I have ever read. The way Sherlock's mind works blows me away. When he makes his deductions, I can't figure out how he could have possibly gotten all of that information just from that little piece of evidence. But then, he explains it all and it makes perfect sense and I don't know how I didn't see that in the first place. Sherlock has a very good sense of humor, too. He's sarcastic, like myself, and I always find myself laughing out loud. The cases he works on are sometimes very dark, so without his humor to lighten things up, it would be very dreary indeed. The mysteries he gets involved in are very dramatic and thrilling. It's so suspenseful and fun to read, I can't put it down. Sherlock and Watson have a funny relationship, too. The two of them together crack me up. They are very different, but they are the perfect team when they work together. I saw the movie and I loved it. Afterwards, I instantly wanted to read the books. I hope they make more movies, because Robert Downey Jr. was amazing in it, and same with Jude Law. If you haven't seen the movie, you have to go see it right now. And after, pick up a copy of Sherlock Holmes and start reading. You won't regret it!Show Less
