A review by jujudepamplemousse
A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

3.0

After watching TV shows and movies about Sherlock Holmes, it was my first time reading the original novel and to be honest I was expected a bit more of it. I rather enjoyed the first part of the book but when the second part started, I thought that there was something wrong with my book as if I was reading a totally different book. I struggled a lot before starting to understand what this part has to do with the rest of the story. Not that it was bad written or anything but the story tended to drag a bit on to my taste.
Despite everything, Mr. Conan Doyle’s work seems promising so I still intend to pick up the sequels.
