My opinion about the book «The Hound of Baskervilles» by A. Conan Doyle

This summer I have read the book “The Hound of the Baskervilles”, which was written by the famous English writer of the 19^th century Arthur Conan Doyle. It is a detective story.

I liked this book very much from the very beginning. First of all, Sherlock Holmes is one of my favourite characters. Besides, the plot of the story is extremely interesting and intricate. The action takes place in the Yorkshire moors in England. It starts with a mysterious murder of Sir Charles Baskerville in his old mansion. Although the doctor says that the cause of his death is the heart attack, he doesn’t believe it himself as a lot of traces of a gigantic hound are found on the ground around the body. So, he goes to London and asks Mr. Sherlock Holmes to investigate the case.

The book has a lot of  thrilling episodes. I couldn`t help feeling nervous especially when the gigantic hound followed its prey for I was not sure that the story would have the happy end. Fortunately, Sherlock Holmes does his best as usual and the mystery of the strange murder is revealed.

To cut a long story short, the fearful hound is killed and the main character Sir Henry, the heir of the Baskervilles, is saved from the terrible death.

In conclusion, I would like to say that detectives are my favourite genre. When I read them I always try to predict the events, to draw conclusions and it helps me to develop some kind of deductive reasoning. So, if you like detectives, I advise you to read this book. I am sure you’ll get a great pleasure.
