Sherlock Holmes and the Circus of Fear Book Report
By Doris
Today I finished the book-Sherlock Holmes and the circus of fear.This is the second detective story I have read about Sherlock Holmes.Just like the first one I read-Sherlock Holmes and the death theater, the book is written by Anwar Andrews instead of the authentic author-Conan Doyle.The story happened in the late 19th century in England.The main characters include Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective;Dr John Watson, a doctor and the friend of Holmes;Lord George Sanger, a circus owner.At the beginning of the book, the circus owner Sanger turns to Holmes for help.The animals in his circus have died one after another and there have happened many accidents.What was stranger was that Sanger would receive anonymous letters ahead of time.Why did so many terrorist events happen in this circus? Who was the murder? According to all kinds of details, Holmes uses his excellent reference skills, courage, and sharp observation talent to investigate the case.Step by step, he finds the fact of all the terrorist things.However, things are far from that simple.In the next chapter, with the death of Sanger, the story goes to the highlight.What’s the secret hidden behind the death? Finally, Holmes manages to find out the truth about Sanger’s death as well as a bombshell concerning national treasure.Actually, I don’t like this novel very much.On reading the book, I find it difficulty focusing on the story, because the author spends too many words describing the performances and characters in the circus, which almost drives me to sleep!Also, I
think the plot isn’t very attractive, with little suspense.So I think this story is not as good as the first one I read.Nonethele, there are still some advantages which I appreciate very much.For example, I like this paragraph: He(Holmes)was earnest, though.“Watson, I shall keep bees and meditate, and write at least a dozen monographs.I already have my eye upon a farm cottage with an acre or two in Suex, not far from Eastbourne, yet far enough for that distance to insulate me from the hordes of mankind.” The reason why I like this paragraph is that it shows Holmes’s longing for a peace life, and it really touches me.Well, another adventure comes to an end.Sherlock Holmes is bound to live a risky life no matter how he wants to live in seclusion.So next time, he will also guide me to a mysterious world, I believe.
