    Arthur Conan Doyle

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. Before starting his writing career, Doyle attended medical school, where he met the professor who would later inspire his most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. A Study in Scarlet was Doyle's first novel; he would go on to write more than sixty stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. He died in England in 1930.

    • 4/5
      Worth it just for the curious incident of the dog at night time in "Silver Blaze." "The Musgrave Ritual" and "The Naval Treaty" are very good too.
    • 4/5
      Another masterpiece from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In these stories we learn more about Sherlock Holmes, from his older brother Mycroft to his nemesis, Professor Moriarity. These stories are guaranteed to stimulate your mind as you try to solve some of Holme's toughest cases.
    • 4/5
      These are the stories that started a whole new genre. Well, there were others written before, but Conan Doyle was the best. Unfortunately, I'm not that big of a fan. I found the stories to be overwritten (Doyle was paid by the word), as well as dull at times. There were a few standouts - specifically "The Yellow-Face", which took an unexpected view of mixed race children from Sherlock Holmes.
    • 5/5
      A curious incident and the death of Holmes. Superb!
    • 4/5
      Review: This collection of stories has some of the famous and not so famous. All are written in that famous Doyle style with some being more interesting than others.
    • 4/5
      There are nine stories in this collection, ranging from Mr. Holmes earliest days to the last case he worked on before his unfortunate demise. I can't say that any one story stood out particularly as being very interesting, but as more insight to the universe of Sherlock Holmes, they are fun reading.
    • 5/5
      I read these stories a long time ago, and really enjoyed them. The 12 stories include: Silver Blaze, The Cardboard Box, The Yellow Face, The Stockbroker's Clerk, The Gloria Scott, The Musgrage Ritual, The Reigate Squires, The Crooked Man, The Resident Patient, The Greek Interpreter, The Naval Treaty, and The Final Problem.
    • 5/5
      Whether this or The Adventures is the better collection is a matter of personal choice. As a whole I think I preferred Adventures but The Yellow Face stands out as my favourite story so far. It made me cry a bit at the end. You also have the entry of Moriarty for the 1st time. I expected that to take place later in the series. Great fun.
    • 5/5
      The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is a great book to read. One of the best books to read by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about a great detective solving crime, murder mysteries. There are several different interesting murder cases and it is like travelling and solving mysteries and other great adventures with Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson. Full of exciting and great mysterious adventures. E.C.
    • 4/5
      This was a good, solid little collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories. Watson narrates each tail, trying to personify the ingenious detective by filling it with character details and analyzing his friend, mentor, and partner in solving crimes. This was a more organized, roundabout collection than the others that I have read and I quite enjoyed reading it. An essential read for those interested in Sherlock Holmes or detective stories- or classics enthusiasts.3.5 stars.
    • 4/5
      Although not a great fan of short stories, this was a good collection of cases involving Sherlock Holmes. Most of them left you wanting more. Interesting this early in the series of books to finish with Holmes and Moriarty at The Reichenbach Falls - also intriguing how this last scene wasn't told by Arthur Conan Doyle. Will always leave you wondering exactly what happened.
    • 4/5
      Having fun catching up on all the Sherlock Holmes stories. This volume is a collection of shorter works that reads like a sort of lost case file for John Watson. Of course, the series ends in this book (or does it?) with the tale involving Moriarty and Reichenbach Falls.

      Oddly, the stories don't even feel dated, although some of that might be due to watching "Sherlock" and being able to imagine the pair in the modern day.
    • 5/5
      As the proud owner of all of Doyle's fiction and most of his non-fiction works I consider most of the stories in this volume and particularly The Final Problem to be amongst the best.
    • 4/5
      More compelling short stories about the famed detective are included in this title. Unfortunately I read it quite some time ago and forgot to review it then, so my memory is slight, other than that I enjoyed the stories contained in here on the whole.
    • 4/5
      Enjoyable.
    • 4/5
      The short story is a much better venue for Sherlock Holmes than the novel. The short story telescopes plot and gets beyond the fact that Holmes is hardly a prince of a guy.
    • 4/5
      Just as entertaining as the Adventures. The Final Problem was one I'd heard so much about that it seemed like I must have read it, but it was nice to actually do so. The stories don't stick in my head much - they're fairly slight - but fun and worth the read.
