Book Review for The Hound od Baskervilles

            For my book report, I chose to read "The Hound of Baskervilles," by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In this novel, Sherlock Holmes and his trusty assistant Watson work together to solve a mystery of concerning two murdered women. While looking for clues all they could find was sign of a gigantic hound, but they could not prove that theory because no one in that area had a hound big enough to do what was displayed. So all they could do was start to think in a different realm of thought to get things to make since. .
             I choose the book for the reason of that for my honors English class it was a requirement to read it because we had an essay about another mystery story to compare it to. The author of The Hound of Baskervilles was the famous Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle who has also wrote a large amount of other Sherlock Holmes stories. This book took place in Baskervilles, which I'm guessing is over in London due to how the people talk and act. And was circa 1889 was when it was published which makes since because of how Arthur described the people in the book as in the way they dress and talk.
             From this book I learned a lot of things for example that when trying to figure complicated problems or scenarios out the best way to look at the situation is to think outside the box because that's most likely where you will find your answers that you are looking for. Another thing I learned was that it is wise to be aware of your surroundings for example to be aware of what and who surrounds you so you can always be on your feet and be ready to go into action. The third thing I learned was looks can be very deceiving. For example in the book they were constantly looking for a human that caused the murders but in the end it turned out to be a little more paranormal. The last thing I learned was that talking to people or witnesses is very important because the more information you have about an event or subject for different people the better off you are because if the same story has came up multiple times you know either the people with the different stories are lying or all the people with the same stories are working together.
