I was young when I first read Sherlock Holmes. I don't remember much about the story. So I went to library to borrow it. But I guess the detective work has progressed so much, and the detective story is also been developed far more sophisticated. The main theme of the story was not that attractive to me anymore. Homes' skills in many things are almost common sense in today's plot line. The story behind the murder however, was pretty good. I was nervous about the fate of the father and the daughter. And when they got murdered, I did feel the revenge was justified.
It's kind disappointing to see a legendary book in my youth go down like that. And so do many things as well...
