Book a Month Mission; A Study in Scarlet

Well after the dismal failure of last months Book a Month Mission, I thought it was time to go for something with a bit more promise. Now if you haven't been hidden under a gigantic cultural rock then you would know that Sherlock Holmes has had a bit of a revivification, mostly due to the dashing talents of Robert Downey Jnr and the BBC/Moffat modern day, i-phone using version.

Now here is not the place to discuss the unrivalled AWESOMENESS that was the BBC's Sherlock as this is ground that I feel we have already covered. But due to my absolute obsession with it, it seemed only fitting that I gave the actual, undiluted Doyle a go.

Before the Hollywood version of Sherlock Holmes I have to admit that whenever I thought of the ol' dear stalker and pipe it just seemed a bit stuffy. A bit dull. But nevertheless I have high hopes for this book now, you never know I might want to read more.
