This book is composed of twelve different stories. Each one is different from the others. All of them end in the exact same way. Sherlock figures out the case and is the hero. It seems that some people are just born to do certain things. During the previous school year I went down to Dallas and saw the Sherlock exhibit at the Perot museum. I feel the exhibit did a very good job at reflecting who Sherlock was. The exhibit really made you feel like you were Sherlock hot on the tail of an investigation. The book also did a great job. So this is my representation of the book. The book doesn't explain much of the plot. It basicly just drops you into a story with no explanation. Just from memory Sherlock and Watson live in London on Bakers St.

The classic mystery novel, Sherlock Holmes, features a murder-mystery detective Sherlock Holmes, and his army doctor colleague Dr. John Watson. The story revolves around the main character, Sherlock Holmes, and his unique method to solving crimes. The story is mainly all about Sherlock and his abilities, which then rises the question about the importance of the character of Dr.Watson, both to the chaarcter of Sherlock Holmes, and towards the readers.
The story is told by Watson, not Holmes. Watson is never likely to be at the same thinking level as Holmes. There are some parts which are kept secret from us, things that Watson does not know, the reader also does not know. ‘Holmes leaned forward and whispered something in the trainer’s ear’.

He chases butterflies and studies the moor and it’s inhabitants. In the book mortimer is a very creepy person and studies humans and skulls. While in the film mortimer is a acts in a more serious manner while Stapleton is incredibly creepy, he asks would you have an objection to me running my finger along parietal fissure? Also he makes more points about Holmes’ skull (Attwood, The Hound of the Baskervilles). This ends up making Stapleton a very creepy character for the suspense of the movie. In the book Watson looks up to Holmes with great respect and takes his smallest compliments and appreciates them greatly.
