Sir Arthur Conan Doyle shares the outlandish cases of the consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his life long friend John Watson. Throughout The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, the reader is taken on a journey with Sherlock and John while a variety of people from all over England ask these two men to solve peculiar cases dealing with all sorts of mysteries. Within each tale of strange cases, you see the close friendship between Watson and Holmes grow stronger and stronger as they strive towards one goal: to solve the case that's in front of them.
When rating this book on a 1-5 scale (5 being the highest), I would give it a four because there were moments where the book seemed to be moving very slowly compared to the rest of its captivating and action-packed story. Though the book didn't have a defined plot or story line -- I enjoyed how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle separated each case. With each little story about the case that Holmes and Watson solved together, there came new characters, new locations, new situations, and new cliff hangers which excited me throughout the novel.
