Ill be honest, I can see why this wasnt a favorite for too many peopleIt was going pretty well, you get to the point where Holmes and Watson catch the perpetrator, only to have the chapter end and for the book to move on to Part II. Part II starts off in a completely different place with completely different characters - I was completely lost! (I just used completely 3 times in a sentence, that cant be good). It went on like this for chapters with only a small amount of hints suggesting that this was still actually part of the book I had been reading earlier. Finally in the end everything connects together, but the transition wasnt even a transition at all and I think that was a little frustrating. I will continue on to read the other stories, however for now Ill be taking a Sherlock Holmes break
