Openshaw family in the proce if neceary.Finally, in “Silver Blaze”, Holmes and Watson had to succeed in finding the prized racehorse, Silver Blaze, whose trainer had been killed and whom the Dartmoor authorities had failed to find.This collection of some of Holmes most fascinating cases included eential elements, like blackmail, murder and lost fortunes.And all the cases were interconnected with Holmes’s characteristic lifestyle.Of course, Holmes solved nearly every case.Neverthele, in each case he had to admit a failure.In stead of making Holmes like a loser, these failures added lots of humanities to the particularly unbeatable Holmes.In fact, he was a little rude, arrogant, unfriendly, even cold, and easily bored.But nobody minds, on the contrary people like him and some of the Holmes enthusiasts are keen on him so much so that make every effort to prove that he was a real man who existed in the human history but not a fictional character that was made up by the author Conan Doyle.They keep a record of Holmes’s main activities according to the series of detective stories.Even in the early days, Conan Doyle received letters from readers who wanted to hire Holmes.Holmes’s methods of detection impre me, and also, I have learned a lot from it.In fact, he often employed several connected principles which were based on his great observation.And this kind of deductive reasoning allowed Holmes to reveal the pawnbroker’s former occupation, the carpenter on a ship in The Red-headed League.From that, I know that Holmes had accumulated a wealth of experience before he succeeded.So I think I shall learn accumulating knowledge in my daily life like him.The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is really worth reading.Not only does the plots are so fantastic but it also offers us plenty of knowledge and experience.I like this book every much, for it exposes me to the most intriguing detective in the fictional world!
