Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

Brilliant book, highly liked by many of my friends at school, very popular book. The 2nd most popular book in our school during 2014, look at our October Issue for more about this book.

Vampire books have and always will be popular amongst students of all ages, authors that write Vampire novels already have a huge fan base to aim their books at, I have been the editor of our school magazine for three years, and during this time I have noticed that the most demanded types of books year upon year are any books with a Vampire tone, during my three years as student magazine editor I have done ten articles upon Vampire theme novels, because that is what satisfied student demand at my school. Both girls and boys love these stories, I think the TV series Vampire Diaries really swelled the demand for Vampire demanded books. And this book delivers on all levels, a fantastic, brilliant story line gives you what you expect from a Vampire related story. A exciting and thrilling book, well written from an impressive author, who displays huge talent in his story telling. I would highly recommend this book to anybody, I think its target audience will be book readers aged 25 and below, although adults could quite easily find themselves engrossed in the story line. Fans of fantasy, horror, science fiction will love this book.....

No jakby lektora było ok ale nie w moim stylu kryminałów podobne książki nie są w moim typie a już na pewno jeżeli jest to lektora może by mi się spodobało bardziej gdyby nie to że stylu głowy miałem jednak to że to lektora i muszę to przeczytać a nie z własnej woli

Read this throughout a class I was taking. No idea what was going on in class cause I was so focused on this book. You get sucked in by the vivid language.

“The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

“Holmes had read carefully a note which the last post had brought him. Then, with the dry chuckle which was his nearest approach to a laugh, he tossed it over to me.” Thus opens this foreboding Sherlock story.

Clever! I didn't expect the outcome, but on reflection the plot fits.***

“'It must be an exceedingly delicate and complex affair from your point of view.' (said Ferguson).
'It is certainly delicate,' said my friend (Sherlock), with an amused smile, 'but I have not been struck up to now with its complexity. It has been a case for intellectual deduction, but when this original intellectual deduction is confirmed point by point by quite a number of independent incidents, then the subjective becomes objective and we can say confidently that we have reached our goal. I had, in fact, reached it before we left Baker Street, and the rest has merely been observation and confirmation.'”

I really enjoyed this story. It had a gothic style and though the truth was not supernatural, it was interesting and showed the extent of love between the couple.

Bacaan yang ringan untuk sekali duduk, cukup menyenangkan untuk membaca ungkapan misteri secara tegas dan cerdik. Meskipun setiap menuju akhir cerita, ku bisa menebak jalan cerita selanjutnya. Coba kalau lebih tebal lagi mungkin lebih menyenangkan lagi. Bagus kok, bagus. Tapi ratingnya tidak bisa lebih tinggi :P.

sebenarnya ceritanya bagus, hanya saja kurang panjang. Ada 2 cerita dalam buku ini, yang pertama ada seorang pria yang mengirim surat kepada Sherlock tentang masalah yang dihadapinya yaitu istrinya ketahuan menghisap darah bayinya sendiri, tentu saja Sherlock penasaran dengan kasus ini, membawa serta rekannya dr Watson, Sherlock pun menyelidiki kasus ini...

Read as a follow up after finishing Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Arthur Conan Doyle and his fabby creation Sherlock Holmes never fails to please. Holmes' logical deduction of who the "vampire" really is is accomplished in short order by the master sleuth. This is a quick and fun read.

Salut sama pemikirannya Mr. Holmes. Tapi, kenapa ceritanya pendek banget yaaa? Jadi penasaran mau ke toko buku buat liat2 seri yang lain dan apakah ada buku Sherlock Holmes yang tebelan dikit...

I love the Sherlock series, but this book is not my favourite. It's very racialized. I recognize that it was written in another era, but it should still be read critically.

Have read all of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and probably others as well, just never bothered to put them in to amazon or goodreads, so dates wrong. Some KU some paperback some hardback some collections.
