Review: The One And Only
Rating: 5 out of 5

Having been a fan of the movies for so long, and having never read the actual stories, I grabbed this and plowed through it. Putting aside the fact that most of the stories were written over a hundred years ago, and share some of the prejudices of the era, it's fun and highly entertaining. Sir Arthur was certainly creative and had a gift for spinning some great tales, I can see why these became so popular so quickly. Personally I liked the stories better when Watson was the narrator then Holmes, but I can see why Doyle wanted to try some new things to keep the series fresh. Highly recommended.- One note, the book has more than a few typos, but that's not Sir Arthur's fault.
