     So I jumped into this book thinking oh this should be fun, it's Sherlock Holmes, and maybe I jumped in with too much expectations cause I was really let down.  For Sherlock I was expecting something a little more fast paced and mind blowing and what I found was this book dragged like a fishing net on open season.
     This is a book of short stories about Holmes and Watson told from the first person aspect of Watson himself.  Most of the stories were just a few pages 5 maybe to 10 pages long and left me feeling empty and disappointed. The only decent stories in my opinion were the last two stories that were a bit longer and actually had a feel of Sherlock to them.  Unlike most of the books the stories didn't feel rushed and chopped off. The last story was of particular fun cause of the ending and of the way my mind works. (Trying to not give a spoilers here).
     The Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes I suppose is a must have to the dedicated Sherlock fans of the world, but let me tell you this, if you are basing your opinions of Holmes off BBC's Sherlock Holmes, then you may want to avoid this book. If you are a fan of Holmes in all aspects of life then you will probably want to read this as the stories are not the popular ones you'll have read or seen in movies.
