It’s not my favorite Sherlock Holmes novellas. I preferred the valley of fear, the study of scarlet, and the collections. It was still an amazing book. I love the atmosphere and how immersive the story was. I loved that it was mainly dr watson in the story. The way the story was summed up was great too. It was all really good. I’d say that it can get a bit gory and dark. More than the other stories, so keep that in mind.

Ide cerita menarik, menegangkan, bagus, keren, dahlah. Terbaik di antara ketiganya pokoknya wkwk kasusnya tentang "kutukan" keluarga Baskerville, dimana Holmes harus tetep berpikir logis di antara semua fakta-fakta yg mengarah ke hal-hal tahayul

What a waste of my life, I was so uninterested that I didn't really focus on the text and had to reread the same passages like 3 times. I like the BBC adaptation and how they had Sherlock involved, rather than just Watson alone. I live for the deductions and there was none because Watson isn't a superhero human like Sherlock. I want a relationship between them that's isn't just coworker respect. I like how they used some lines in the show from the book. Wouldn't read again because it was really boring to me.

So, I guess this counts as a re read, because I have listened to The Hound of the Baskervilles through an abridged audiobook before, but this is my first time reading it unabridged and in its entirety - equally as good! The Hound of the Baskervilles is a mystery novel like no other, and it is full of amazing clues and red herrings that make the story so incredibly enjoyable. Of course, Sherlock Holmes makes every story outstanding, but The Hound of the Baskervilles is probably my favourite of all his mysteries. Arthur Conan Doyle crafts the mystery so well in my opinion, and strings together an unbelievably believable story. Utterly fantastic.
