No lo he disfrutado como me hubiera gustado por falta de tiempo, pero la sensación ha sido muy buena. La que más me ha gustado: 'El perro de los Baskerville'.

I have three of the four novel length story prior to borrowing this book, so I was mostly enjoying the illustration more than actually reading it. As to the last story, I was getting fatigued by the 'conspiracy' at that point the holmesian mystery portion has lost its persisting charm to keep me reading the back story (I am also aware that of all 4 novels this is rated the lowest of all Sherlock Holmes story among Sherlockian readers, so it might have applied a little for me).

Año de relecturas.
Qué placer leer un libro una y otra vez con la misma ilusión. Además es esta una edición magnífica, ilustrada, anotada y eso sí, muy muy pesada. Aunque doy fe de que hubo noches que lo leí en la cama. Y para los que solemos leer acostados Kindle en mano, la experiencia ha sido... pesadamente placentera:)

"Elementare, Wathson!".
Conan Doyle è un grande scrittore, difatti da lui si sono poi ispirati tutti i giallisti celebri. Grande narratore, non stanca mai e ti lascia con il fiato sospeso per tutte le storie. Da rileggere mille e mille volte.

Amazing!
Sir Conan Doyle has actually written a masterpiece of his times. This is still worth reading. I have heard that many people compare it with the series as they think that series is the whole copy of the book. But, that's wrong, it's not. There is a huge difference between what you read in this book and what you see in the Netflix series.
I personally liked the book very much. Highly recommended to people who love mystery, thriller books.
*WORTH READING AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME*

It was a great compilation but not the 4 books were good, i didnt like the third but i loved the first and last so because there is a lot of difference opinion between the books, the review is average
