The Hound of the Baskerville showcased a lot of very classic mystery elements! Some major points were not very surprising but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Looking forward to seeing the stage adaptation.

“Well, either the boot comes back before sundown or I’ll see the manager and tell him that I go right straight out of this hotel” (Pg. 61). I am comforted by the fact that “Let me speak to your manager” people were around a century ago and aren’t just a new phenomenon.”

This was my first Sherlock Holmes I've read. I highly enjoyed it. These detective stories give me a real Autumn feeling and gets me all cozy.

The story was great. I've read that some people already knew who the killer was, but I didn't. I was still surprised at the end when the case was solves and reviewed. It was a lot of fun to read in the kind of language style of that time, and to still feel like it fits in the modern world.

The only problem I had was that I sometimes didn't know who was who again, because I felt like I didn't get a big enough introduction about the characters. That made the story sometimes a little hard to understand for me.
