Book review 1-2

I read “SHERLOCK HOLMES –SHORT STORIES-”.
He is made by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective of them all, I think. I like his looks, behavior, and acute deductive powers very much. I had read his story when I was a student at an elementary school. But my favorite character is John Watson. He is the partner of Holmes. The reason why I like him is that he is like me. Generally, reader thinks the trick of the case or the motive of the murder. He does the same things as reader does. So they can read as if they were him. After all, we surprise Holmes’ quick deductive power. Perhaps, reader may solve the case earlier than him. In my case, being a tiny detective, I can’t beat him.
In the first episode, “The speckled band”, one of the keys to solve the case is that a poison of the snake does not detect easily in a dead body. Not having such knowledge, I could not notice the trick, but I knew the strange phenomenon.
As above, this work tells us a strange phenomenon and an unexpected thing.
I think it’s the big attraction of this.
