Book Review 2:The Last Sherlock Holmes Story

The second Book Review is about a detective story. Its title is “The Last Sherlock Holmes Story” It is written like Dr. Watson wrote this story. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote his detective stories, he never thought that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson would become so famous. But Holmes and the doctor live on, in story after story- long after their deaths. For when Dr Watson died, he left behind him a lock box, with orders that it must not be opened for fifty years. The box contained a report, written in the doctor’s own handwriting. But why did he want it kept secret for so many years?
To find out, we must go back to the narrow dirty streets of Whitechapel in the London of 1888. Three women have been horribly murdered by Jack the Ripper. Scotland Yard is helpless- unable to stop the murders or catch the killer. So the police turn for help to the great detective, Sherlock Holmes...
Sherlock Holmes is the most intelligent detective in the world. He can solve all of the problems all over the world. The only the problem he cannot solve is his too much intelligence. Because of his intelligence, he has nothing to kill his boring time. He always finds something interesting, and if he cannot find it, he takes drugs.
When I know that, I feel sorry for Holmes. Too much intelligence is not good for people.
