The Hound of the Baskervilles

This one was fun but not my favorite of the Sherlock stories. I feel like the plot got a little too convoluted and my suspension of disbelief took a hit. That being said, I think it's a really nice change of pace to get a mostly Watson-only story where he can't lean on Sherlock's brilliance. Watson's sleuthing is definitely clunkier, but he's relatable that way.

Coming from BBC Sherlock, I was surprised to find that the hound is really just a hound. I really thought there would be more of a twist to it than that. I liked seeing Sherlock and Watson in a spooky scenario though, especially with both of them being horrified when the hound finally appears. Sherlock is either smug or cool/nonchalant so it's always fun to read about him getting flustered. I was also legitimately shocked when he showed up in the hut. I really enjoyed his appearance in that scene where he tells Watson to be careful his gun. It was also cute how they were both really excited to see each other and Sherlock was apologetic of his ruse.

Now that I've read the original novel, I'd really like to see the other adaptations of it. The BBC plot was pretty much completely different so I wouldn't mind watching one that's more faithful.
