REPRINT OF MAMMOTH BK OF NEW S. HOLMES ADVENTURES

THIS IS SIMPLY A REPRINT OF THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF NEW SHERLOCK HOLMES ADVENTURES WITH A DIFFERENT ISBN. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND MISLEADING. I RATED IT FOUR STARS ONLY BECAUSE IT IS A HARDBACK WHEREAS THE PREVIOUS EDITION WAS A LARGE TRADE PAPERBACK. THE STORIES ARE RATHER ENTERTAINING AND SOME ARE WELL WRITTEN.

Great book for Sherlock fans

I thought this was a well written book, I enjoyed reading it greatly. I thought the chronical in the back was the best, it listed the order of the cases. I am happy I added this book to my Sherlock Holmes collection.

Great fun!

Great fun! This book is very interesting. Its almost as good as reading the original set by Doyle. None of the stories are parodies or efforts to outdo the original ones. There are no new theories, just Holmes and Watson solving mysteries.

This book is wonderful! About time for more Holmes stories!

Once you start with this book any true fan of the Holmes stories cannot easily put it down! They are great! Each story somehow manages do outdo the other, no matter which is read first. And that is the greatest praise any writer could ever recieve! Hurry, Watsons! The game is still afoot!

Chronological Cases

This book is one of the best collections of new cases concerning the great detective. What stands out about this particular anthology is that it traces Holmes' career from the very beginning, and leads up right to the very end. All of the stories were unique and interesting in their own way. An added bonus is a list at the back of the book describing more Holmes books written by modern authors.
