| 1. |  | Complete Sherlock Holmes
from Doubleday
Price: $18.45
Customer Review:
"Complete Sherlock Holmes" contains all the Sherlock Holmes stories.
I enjoyed Sherlock Holmes as a teenager and as a young adult and still dip into a Holmes mystery once in a while. Arthur Conan Doyle created a unique and enduring character when he first wrote of Sherlock Holmes.
However,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Sherlock Holmes : The Complete Novels and Stories (Bantam Classic) Volume I
from Bantam Classics
Price: $6.95
Customer Review:
The text is so small a normal human being can't read it. I was so excited to get this book and the text was so small. I tried to read it but was getting headaches and serious eyestrain. Why are these publishers so cheap? Why not have legible text? Why do they print these classics too small to read?... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection (Sherlock Holmes)
from ignacio hills press (TM) www.IgnacioHillsPress.com
Price: $0.80
Customer Review:
I love Sherlock Holmes, but this edition is full of atrocious typos. It is also possible to download a free version elsewhere, so the $0.80 isn't really such a bargain. | 3.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | The Beekeeper's Apprentice: Or On the Segregation of the Queen/A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes (Mary Russell Novels)
from Picador
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
This book is about a genius teenage girl, recently orphaned, who meets Sherlock Holmes as he's studying bees. Well, she actually almost walks over him. So begins a rather clever story. Mary and Holmes think alike, which means that the amazing Sherlock Holmes finally has a friend with whom he can... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Novels (A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Valley of Fear)
from W. W. Norton
Price: $37.28
Customer Review:
If you've already read all the stories, this is a great set of books, and perhaps you might learn something new. If you're a new reader who is actually trying to read the stories as stories, this is a soul-crushing dissection that will suck all the joy out.
First the good - you can feel the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Locked Rooms (Mary Russell Novels)
from Bantam
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
I purchased this book several weeks ago and still haven't completed it, which is unusual for a Laura King book. This book just isn't working for me and is leaving me with a big feeling of "So what?" The first quarter of the book would have been great as an essay on going home, but not as a part of a... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | The Final Solution: A Story of Detection
from Fourth Estate
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
I really enjoyed this book. I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, and it makes me happy to see that Chabon's intention was to make people more interested in Holmes (as per his interview in the back of the book). It is short, really fast to read, and has an interesting story to weave, thought I wasn't as... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $13.60
Customer Review:
"The main premise of detective criticism is this: many of the murders narrated in literature were not committed by the people accused by the text. In literature, as in life, the true criminals often elude the investigators and allow secondary characters to be accused and condemned. In its passion... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | A Monstrous Regiment of Women: A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes
from Picador
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I thought that Laurie King was quite creative in blending in a character like Mary to enter into a relationship with an aging Sherlock Holmes. For that time and era, Mary reflects a real feminism that probably is more true of Laurie King than would've been the case in that day...not withstanding the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Yearling
Customer Review:
This is one of the better children's books my kids have read. Just right for my 7-year old who likes to read, but needs something great to get all the way through a book without being prodded. Very fun. | 5.0 / 5.0
