23 of 23 people found the following review helpful. A classically entertaining book By Kenneth Feldman (kenjf52@hotmail.com) This collection, the final in the Sherlock Holmes series, is often thought of as being inferior to the others in the series. This is not so. It's true that the mysteries themselves are not quite as diabolically clever as the best of Holmes, but by any other standard they are outstanding. In addition, the stories are marked by a more realistic and darker psychological portrayal of the villains. Doyle's writing is as good in these stories as anywhere else. These stories contain some of the wittiest repartee by Holmes and Watson, with Holmes at his most sarcastic. As an added bonus, the collection contains the only two stories narrated by Holmes himself (and he turns out to be a very good writer!) This book is a must for mystery fans and general readers alike. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because these stories are "classics," they are going to be stodgy reading, or that you have to be a Holmes fan to enjoy them. "The Case Book" is still one of the most entertaining books ever written. Perfect for airplane or beach!WARNING!!: DO NOT READ THE EARLIEST REVIEW OF THIS BOOK POSTED BELOW (DATED 1/22/98) UNTIL YOU READ THE BOOK. THE CONTRIBUTOR THOUGHTLESSLY GIVES AWAY THE ENDINGS OF MANY STORIES AND WILL SPOIL YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THEM.
19 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Far from the best of the collections, but still fun By Josh Mauthe By the time Arthur Conan Doyle made it to this, the final volume of Sherlock Holmes stories, you could tell that his interest in the series was rapidly waning. Gone was the inspiration and excitement that you could feel in Hound of the Baskervilles and His Last Bow; in their place, you found Doyle's stories seeming less inspired and involved, with some of the solutions ending up downright laughable. (There's a story here about a man who's injecting himself with monkey blood and turning into a monkey. Seriously.) And yet, even though Casebook lacks the energy and fun of the best Holmes stories, Doyle remains a professional all the way to the end, and even still feels confident enough to play with the formula again. Casebook has stories from an omniscient narrator and even narrated by Holmes himself, a choice that feels like a genuine shift in point of view and not just a gimmick that kept the same voice patterns. And, sure, some of the stories aren't up to par with the best, but there's a few - my favorite being "The Problem of Thor Bridge" - that absolutely deliver on every level, giving solutions that show that Doyle still could wow even the most seasoned Holmes reader. Casebook probably deserves its reputation as one of the weakest Holmes collections, but even so, it's still an enjoyable read and another example of how Doyle's success allowed him to play with the formula of his stories all the way to the end. And if some of the last stories don't quite hold their own against the best, well, with that many stories about the same character, isn't it to be expected that some will be better than others? And even the weakest are still fun and entertaining, and that goes a long way.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. First rate, though a tad different, Holmes' stories By Daniel Myers Here we are again with the omniscient Holmes and incredulous Watson exploring mysteries as inscrutable as ever before. These stories are, as a previous reviewer has noted, on the darker side of things, no doubt as a resullt of WWI, in which Doyle lost his son. One even takes place, for the most part, in America, of all places!-There's always this comfortable, almost fairy tale sense in all of the Holmes' stories of this magic Victorian nightworld which Holmes and Watson float above in their upper middle class ease, and which we know (except in one story not in this book) that all will be well with the two friends in the end. Even when we know we are being duped, as when cigar ashes or some other peculiar evidence appears and Holmes announces "Surely you've read my monograph on the subject," and proceeds to expound upon their significance to the case, we are still pleased, like an opium smoker taking another drag from his pipe and drifting back to Xanadu. Like all Holmes' stories, these are bound to keep you turning the pages, as well as to enchant you thus.-Doyle's stories are so enchanting, in fact, that in the most recent issue of the New York Review of Books it is revealed that most Taiwanese believed that they were true and that London was a cobblestoned city perpetually inundated in fog!-A very nice compilation, indeed, with all the original drawings from The Strand.
