Finally new characters come into play when a lady, whose name is Mary Morstan, goes Homes’ office. She seeks Holmes help to solve the disappearance of her father, Captain Morstan who worked and directed the indian colony at the time. He has been gone now for 10 years, and Mary finally goes to Holmes for help, there she explained that recently a stranger had been sending her jewelry and received a letter that would then lead Mary, Holmes and Watson to a man called Thaddeus Sholto who had sent that letter. Through that letter Thaddeus said that Mary deserved justice in relationship to her father (Captain Morstan). When they all met, Thaddeus explained that he was the son of a Captain Morstan’s coworker and friend, General Sholto.

QUOTES

“No: I am not tired. I have a curious constitution. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely."

This is another example of Holme’s ambition and addiction to the resolution of his cases, especially the most complex and difficult ones. Its funny because Holmes dosent like ordinary life unless it is filled with adrenaline and difficulty. Does not appreciate life within simplicity.

CONCLUSION

This book just keeps getting better and better. This really is a good book, filled with mystery all the way, plus I like the way the story develops to an end because of the way Conan Doyle makes the characters interact. He has a unique writing style that suits his stories and setting great. Can't wait to read more.

"THE SIGN OF FOUR " ACD

I've recently started reading my new book called the Sign of Four which has been good so far. I can't say that it's a great book since I just started reading but I can tell why the author is such a famous writer, his way of writing is completely different to what I have ever read. Arthur Conan Doyle is a perfectionist when writing and explaining things, and he does it in a very detailed way. That's all I can say so far. The book starts introducing the first main characters, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Holmes is a outstanding detective who manages to solve the hardest of problems and mysteries through the most unorthodox ways imagined, while Watson is a very well known doctor in London since he is one of the best, he is Holmes's assistant and narrates the whole book through his perspective. Both live in a house located in Baker street, London were they receive  their troubled clients, with unusual and complex cases.

QUOTES

“Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants.”

Sherlock Holmes believes that life itself is boring and mediocre, including the people that surround his reality. This is why he goes to cocaine because it makes life less boring and more exciting in an intellectual way, though when he has a case and especially a complex one he quits using drugs until the case is solved. It is interesting, I think to view life that way, I also like it more if I'm being under a challenge.

CONCLUSION

To end, I believe the book has been interesting so far, I can't wait what the case is going to be about, how complex it will be  and what new characters will appear. GREAT beginning until now.
