call the army!!! call the marines!!!!!!!!!!!, Nov 20 2010
What i like about this book is the pictures!!!!!!!!! You get to see what the martians look like. I like the part with the BLACK SMOKE and the HEAT RAY. I like the tri-pods and when the army is fighting the martians. It's a good book for sci-fi maga fans like me!!!!

Was I ever surprised!, Feb 15 2001
When my son and husband chose The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes for our monthly book discussion, I was certain I'd be bored senseless but figured it was only fair that they choose some of the titles, too. Far from bored, however, I actually loved the droll accounts of Sherlock's sleuthing talents. In fact, as I read, I could "hear" a radio broadcast of the stories in my head. As it turns out, recordings of the mysteries are available, as are films of the adventures. It will be interesting to see how these compare to the version in my head.
If you are sharing these stories with young readers, you may want to read the first story aloud. This proved helpful to my son, who initially had a little trouble "getting into" the rhythm of the narrative. After "The Solitary Cyclist," however, he was happily on his own. He is now tackling a two-volume collection of Doyle's mysteries.

Doyle at his best, May 1 1999
By A Customer
This book is great. Although there are two other books like this one, I prefer this one the best. My favorite mystery in it is "The Red Headed League." An honorable mention is "The Engineer's Thumb." You won't regret buying this book, so... go ahead!
