I've been meaning to read this one for years and finally got around to it after my daughter had to read it as an assignment for her English class. I found it quite entertaining although I have seen two or three movie versions (including my favorite with Basil Rathbone as Holmes) so I wasn't surprised about the outcome of the novel. I have read other Holmes stories and have always enjoyed them. This one was in particular very good with its locale on the moors and the fearsome legend of the "Hound from Hell" and the Baskervilles. I would give this one a high recommendation.
