Deep Dive Into Jane Lee

Sherlock Holmes 2- Sir A.C.Doyle.

This is my second book of Sherlock Holmes and I am satisfied to say it is just as excitable as the first book. Once again, the words, and the dramatic fling across the stories set an excitable man enter in my mind. The book makes me want to experience so much of those mysteries Holmes has.

Since I have written a former book, much of my book review format will not be used because it means I will repeat myself. So I thought it would be interesting to talk about Sherlock Holmes.

 The character first appeared in print in 1887 in the novel “A Study in Scarlet.” Holmes is known for his brilliant deductive reasoning, keen observation skills, and iconic deerstalker hat. Holmes is known for his sharp intellect, logical reasoning, attention to detail, and remarkable observational and deduction skills. He is depicted as a master of disguise and a skilled martial artist. Holmes’ loyal friend and biographer, Dr. Watson, accompanies him on many of his adventures. Watson narrates most of the stories and provides a counterbalance to Holmes’ eccentricities with his more down-to-earth personality.

Although  he was portrayed as an good man, his social skills and decent manners are sometimes rather repulsive in my opinion. His ideas are one sided, and I can see the old mannered thinking as I read it now. Racism, discrimination, his idea of how women are weak. Why do people say it’s a great book when we see all of this? Yes, Sherlock Holmes is a donkey and an annoying person (in my opinion) but he is a brilliant, and clever, and utmost brave person to include himself in another’s business to help, save, and retrieve. That’s what people like to see. And that’s why we must be Watson, yet also be
