The Hound of the Baskervilles

The Hound of the Baskervilles is a novel written by a British novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His Sherlock Holmes novels were first released in Strand Magazine in 1901-1902 as a serial. Later they were released as books and The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the most popular ones. There are many novels that Doyle has wrote about Sherlock Holmes’ journeys.

The novel is a crime novel/detective story. It fits in to the theme for being so exciting and addictive. All the Sherlock Holmes novels are quite similar I guess! And all other detective stories might be similar too.

A main character is Sherlock Holmes who plays the biggest role in other Sherlock Holmes novels too. He is a London-based consulting detective, whose logical reasoning is very famous and so is his skills to solve difficult cases. Also Doctor Watson, a good friend and companion of Holmes, is adventuring in the novel.

The Hound of the Baskervilles tells about Sir Charles Baskerville who were found dead in the grounds of his Devon home. Other people thinks that something weird is happening and they decide to call to detective Sherlock Holmes . Together they are trying to solve the dead, is it a murder or just a normal dead. They are starting to doubt if the Hound of the Baskervilles has showed up again.

The novel was really difficult to read sometimes because the language was challenging.  One of the characters, Dr John Watson, is telling the story.

This book was quite a bad reading experience. It might be because this was the first novel that I read on English. It might get easier when reads more on different language. It was hard to read the story and at the same time try to research unknown words. I didn’t liked the story either. It was too complicated and not really my type.
