Carino questo piccolo giallo ambientato nelle paludose brughiere inglesi, letto in due pomeriggi. Ma mi aspettavo di più. L'ho trovato meno ingegnoso degli altri. Troppo elementare, Doyle.

Did you like it? Why/Why not?
I have enjoyed a lot! I knew that this book was one of the most famous from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, so I was afraid that I didn’t understand anything, but fortunately, I did. The book is focused in discover who is the murder of Charles Baskerville by the detective Holmes and his friend Watson. When they were thinking about the crime, the possible assassins, it made you think too. Sometimes, I get the same conclusions before than them. This made that I was much interested in the story. However this doesn’t mean that the book was predictable. Step by step you are discovering more clues and finally you realized that all have sense.
Would you recommend it to another Level 4 student?
Yes. At the beginning, I have difficulties to follow the story because there were some words of vocabulary that I didn’t understand and the context didn’t help me. So, you have to use the dictionary and for that reason, when they appeared again you knew their meaning. This fact, you’re learning new words, because you remembered the meaning without help.
Where did you get it?
I borrowed the book from the library of Medicine from UAB.

Had never read it and thought a quick read through was probably worth it. It reads well, if not a touch old fashioned and is definitely exciting.
Liked it but will wait a while before reading another Holmes book.

This one is very exciting, and nice story... For me, the best of the 4 Sherlock Holmes long stories.
