I hope there will be more of these! ( )

I must be in 3 star mood.
The art and graphics were good, really caputured Holmes and the world Sherlock. And its a strong adaptation. That being said, I can't imagine adapting Hounds is an easy task and it shows. For a graphic novel its a bit wordy. It does work as a good introduction to Holmes' world.

This is the story of Sherlock Holmes discovering who killed Sir Charles Baskerville. Sherlock Holmes needs to figure out who murdered a man since the culprit appears to be a mythical hound. This book introduces students to older stories and to the beginnings of detective fiction. Also, it allows students to read a complex story with relative ease so if they try the more complicated novel form of the book they understand what is going on.

3.5P. Mr. Holmes is back, in this fast moving adaptation of one of his most famous novels. Abridged significantly from the original, the text nevertheless conveys action, intrigue, and excitement! ( )

An interesting and fun adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s quintessential Sherlock Holmes story. The adapation is well paced and keeps the story moving without losing great chunks of the main storyline. The artwork is sumptuous with rich dark colours beautifully painted across the panels. The two main characters Holmes and Watson both portrayed as I expected but with just enough of the artist’s hand to make them authentic. The hound too, was well drawn without going over the top. Very enjoyable. ( )
