Reviews with the most likes.
Although the book lacks the immersive component I seek in novels, each story is intelligently narrated enough to provide an interesting read. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed as a real life hero, a person with almost supernatural powers of deductibility capable of solving the most puzzling criminal cases.
There is not much character development here and all the stories follow the same formula: a case is presented, Holmes investigates it, then he presents his solution describing how the smallest of details when combined with his knowledge and skill can dispel the most obscure of mysteries.
