SHERLOCK HOLMES

- I’d always hear people discussing and referencing the classic

literary works of the popular British author Sir Athur Conan
Doyle, said discussions are what initially spiked my inquisitive
side to look deeper into his writing. After looking into his work,
one wildly known book series stood out for me, which was his
frequently talked about, infamous fictional character Sherlock
Holmes. Most have definitely heard of some of his most famous
quotes which are “The game is afoot” and “you see but you do not
observe” After deciding to read it I took it upon myself to
understand all of the characters actions and thought process. The
slightly old sophisticated dialogue and detective Sherlock’s
impeccable and inexplicable deduction skills made reading even
more enjoyable. Naturally, after a while of digging deeper into the
fascinating character and plot I became instantly hooked and
proceeded to indulge in all of the other adaptations of the series ,
such as the movies and TV show based on his adventures
alongside his trusty side kick John Watson which painted vivid
mental images and placed faces onto what I was imagining whilst
reading. First published in 1887, The book series shaped and
impacted literature greatly, and thus holds incredible historical
importance.
