Misleading Title -- not 'complete' works, missing 10 stories

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

Has 4 novels and 46 of the 56 short stories.

I bought this book a few years ago, and read it through, but it didn't occur to me to verify whether the title's claim of completeness was true. But going back and looking for a specific story just now, I discovered that the last volume, _The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes_ is missing 10 of the 12 stories it should have. It has the 1st 2 stories, and an article on Holmes' "personalia".

I don't know if the book had all stories in the beginning and the missing 10 were removed in an update or whether it was always missing those stories.

In any event, I have changed my rating from 5 stars to 1 star and will probably delete the book from my library. I'll also be avoiding any other content by the publisher of this book.

What a joy for a new Sherlock reader!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2015

I am most definitely a fan of Sherlock Holmes, but I've not read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original writing until I purchased this complete collection (for $0.99!). I am not a purest, I like all the versions of Sherlock from the Granada TV series with Jeremy Brett (my favorite) to the amazing BBC series 'Sherlock' to the contemporary TV series 'Elementary' to even the Robert Downy Jr. movies. I enjoy them all. Though Jeremy Brett's TV series and Sherlock stand out for me.

But... to the writing. I am amazed as how relevant and current day the reading Sir Doyle's stories feel. These are stories written from 1886 into the early 1900's. I expected the writing to be much more dated and stiff than it was, the writing flowed easily and naturally. My expectations stemmed from reading a lot of H Beam Piper stories from the 1950's that felt very dated, so when I picked up these stories I expected to be much worse. Other than a few words here and there that no longer held the same context, and some not used at all anymore... I found myself quite enjoying the writing of Sir Doyle. Many of the stories were like novella's or short stories, while some are longer and more engaged. Hard to tell with a lack of a useful index with this book.

I'm more than halfway through the collection right now, I've stopped to give myself some non-Sherlock life experience and something to look forward to when the winter kicks in.

Taking 1 star off for the lack of an index that works on my Kindle. For such a large group of books, the index is really, really needed here.

Highly recommend the purchase of this collection if you a fan of the detective work like Sherlock. Best $1 you will spend for a long time!

I decided to buy the entire collection of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes book after downloading a free version of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" on my kindle. I came to the conclusion that the book I downloaded was only one of many and not the first, and I was correct. I loved what I had, and just had to buy the entire set. Doyle is a brilliant writer, and his characters are well-defined and have a witty sense of humor. I find his stories highly entertaining. You can't beat the classics, after all.

First, let me say that I have no problem with the size of the text. I suspect there is more than one version of this book going around, because contrary to what other reviews have claimed, the text looks perfectly fine to me. My book is 1122 pages long. Each page is slightly fringed for effect and is bound very nicely to am undamaged spine. I can see that the book has been used (I ordered the cheapest I could find, after all), but the wear is so slight that it is almost unnoticeable. The cover is in great condition, and it even came with a dust jacket, which I wasn't expecting. My version looks different from the one depicted- the paper cover is a burnt umber with a sketch of Holmes on the front, and the hardcover is dark brown with a black spine. But I actually prefer this over the one in the picture; I think the color is more fitting than teal and blue.

That being said, I am very happy with this order. It came in on time, and I was able to track it, which is always nice. I highly suggest this book to anyone who likes to read. There's a reason it's remained this popular for so many years!

Even better than TV

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 29, 2015

I am halfway through this collection for a master's exam in literature, and didn't expect to enjoy this book so much. Watson and Holmes are enchantingly strange characters. For readers who are unfamiliar with the antics and person of Sherlock Holmes in literary form, I think you will enjoy this as much as any good contemporary literature you are likely to find. The writing is sordid, funny, poetic and eloquent, absurdly fantastical yet realistic in its detail. Another great thing about these short stories is that you don't have to read it from cover to cover or follow an extended plot line to enjoy it.

I was particularly surprised by a story about a hairy mangled murderer avenging the death of his beloved in A Study in Scarlet, a tale that takes us through the Mormon country of Utah in its early "pioneer days" to London. It's quite unflattering to the LDS people, which was amusing to me in light of all the positive PR one encounters on radio, billboards, and TV today. I imagine we won't see an adaptation that adheres to Doyle's narrative any time soon.

If you enjoy the British TV series or film adaptations, you will probably be intrigued by the changes made in these stories for 21st century audiences, and consider the logic behind the adaptation. Sherlock is indeed at least as quirky and unpredictable as the depictions of him I've seen, if not more, and slightly less of a sociopath than Mr. Cumberbatch's character.

what a bargain

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

there is some confusion in the reviews. I paid for the 77p edition and there aren't illustations, but it didn't need them and I wouldn't expect them for that price.
I thoroughly enjoyed the collection and in the most part it was well edited, except for the "his last bow"- that whole collection was riddled with typos, up to 3 on a page.
this didn't really dampen my enjoyment though. and at 77p I'm very happy!

Complete Sherlock Holmes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 8, 2012

Having never really enjoyed any of the screen versions of Sherlock Holmes I was hesistant in purchasing this collection. As such, initially, I tried the kindle sample even though it was only 77 pence to purchase. I was pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed the opening chapter much more than I ever thought I would. So much so I downloaded the full version immediately having read the sample. I've found this collection to be a very entertaining read. However, it is spoiled a little by spelling errors (or at least letters missing from words e.g. the l missing from Holmes!). Given that this is just 77p the errors haven't detracted much at all from my enjoyment but hence the 4 stars.
