Best SH collection yet.
Another short story collection by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This memoir includes non chronological stories, some happening between #2, #3, #4, and so on. Some even taking place before #1. The second collection also a mixed bag, as always, big surprise, but with some very unique ones. On this volume Sherlock saying his famous “Elementary� catchphrase for the first time. Very interesting to know the origins of Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock’s brother, with outstanding deductive powers even bigger than his. And the introduction of Professor James Moriarty, Sherlock’s biggest archenemy.
Go for the Best, consider the Good, whatever the Meh.
The Best :
★★★★� “The Final Problem.�
★★★★� “The Yellow Face.�
★★★★� “The Greek Interpreter.� [4.5]
★★★★� “The Musgrave Ritual.� [4.5]
★★★★� “The 'Gloria Scott'.�
The Good :
★★★☆� “The Crooked Man.� [3.5]
★★★☆� “The Reigate Squire.�
★★★☆� “The Resident Patient.�
The Meh :
★★☆☆� “The Cardboard Box.� [2.5]
★★☆☆� “Silver Blaze.�
★★☆☆� “The Naval Treaty.�
★☆☆☆� “The Stockbroker's Clerk.�
Still remaining, the BBC series.
It’s public domain, you can find it

PERSONAL NOTE :
[1893] [378p] [Collection] [3.5] [Partly Recommendable]

La mejor colección de SH hasta ahora.
Otra colección de cuentos cortos por Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Esta memoria incluye historias no cronológicas, algunas sucediendo entre #2, #3, #4, y así. Algunas incluso tomando lugar antes de #1. La segunda colección también una bolsa mixta, gran sorpresa, pero con algunas muy únicas. En este volumen Sherlock diciendo su famosa frase “Elemental� por primera vez. Muy interesante conocer los orígenes de Mycroft Holmes, el hermano de Sherlock, con sobresalientes poderes deductivos incluso mayores que los de él. Y la introducción del Profesor James Moriarty, el archienemigo más grande de Sherlock.
Ir por lo Mejor, considerar lo Bueno, loquesea lo Meh.
Lo Mejor :
★★★★� "El Problema Final."
★★★★� "El Rostro Amarillo."
★★★★� "El Intérprete Griego." [4.5]
★★★★� "El Ritual de Musgrave." [4.5]
★★★★� "El «Gloria Scott»."
Lo Bueno :
★★★☆� "El Hombre Encorvado." [3.5]
★★★☆� "Los Hacendados de Reigate."
★★★☆� "El Paciente Residente."
Lo Meh :
★★☆☆� "La Caja de Cartón." [2.5]
★★☆☆� "Estrella de Plata."
★★☆☆� "El Tratado Naval."
★☆☆☆� "El Oficinista del Corredor de Bolsa."
Queda pendiente, la serie de BBC.
Es dominio público, lo pueden encontrar

NOTA PERSONAL :

Thank you Alexandra! Best Sherlock collection so far :D

First time hearing about him lol o.O. Thank you Inci!


Sisi. Aparece por primera vez en este libro, aunque no se si en el resto de la serie.

Thank you Srivalli ! Happy to hear you like it too :D

I think Mycroft was a really good creation.

Yes I also heard ACD hated his creation and wanted to kill him off. Poor dude succeeded and was forced to bring him back to life lol. Mycroft could've been a great successor!
