My favourite book is "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.I first discovered these stories when I was about twelve and I've loved them ever since. They're brilliantly written, full of bizarre crimes and they've got a terrific Victorian atmosphere.When you read them you really feel like you've been carried back to nineteenth-century London.All the twentieth century detectives like Miss Marple and Inspector Morse seem really boring compared to Sherlock Holmes.That's where Conan Doyle, really makes you believe that Holmes is unique — a genius with amazing mental powers.Normally I only read detective stories once. I mean, why read them again when you know what happens in the end?With the Sherlock Holmes stories, though, its different.Each time I re-read them I discover more and more to enjoy.
