Sorry for not posting.. I was kind of busy this last week. And this will be a very short review.
Okay, so I can't find a synopsis, so here's a short one out of my head :
Recently returned from Afghanistan, Dr. John Watson is looking for a flat to share. Then an old acquaintance tells him that he knows the very man to share a flat with : A Mr. Sherlock Holmes. A private detective consultant. A case arises that the police come to him to solve : a man found dead in an abandoned house, presumably suicide, but for the word Rache written in blood.
This was my first Sherlock Holmes novel, which I feel rather guilty because I have seen a ton of episodes and movies (which I really liked), and I had yet to read the books. It was short (only around 130 pages) but I really enjoyed it. The plot was really easy to follow, but without being predictable. I had already seen several adaptions of this story, so I already knew what had happened. But I'm fairly sure I wouldn't have been able to guess. I started The Sign of the Four yesterday, and I will do a review on that as soon as I am done. 10/10
Guess where I went this weekend (25-27) ? I went to Philadelphia with my youth group!! We went to the Franklin Institute, where they had The Dead Sea Scrolls on display!!! It was so neat! And for those who don't know what they are, it is the Old Testament that was found in some caves by the Dead Sea. Super cool right? It was awesome. And then I had an authentic phili cheesesteak. Haha :) But it was delicious! Okay, well right now it is down pouring outside, and I'd better go :)
