I need to do a book review as my English project and this was the book I picked for reading. Hound was the book that introduced me to literature and writing, four or five years ago, as I was around 11 years old. I've read the book three times since then, in different languages for different purposes (the third one was in English) and it never ceased to amaze me. What actually amazed me in your review was the fact you explained exactly every one of my thoughts and feelings about the book. The descriptions, the little mysteries that "chain" the reader to the novel...<br /> Best review I've seen so far!Barbaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-29634249133405403242009-12-20T18:31:07.907-06:002009-12-20T18:31:07.907-06:00Evan - Thanks again for stopping by.

Reminds me of a saying: if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? Or, more to the point of this book: if Sherlock Holmes in barely in a Sherlock Holmes novel, is it really a Sherlock Holmes novel?Scott D.

And Mr. Doyle thanks you, too.<br /><br />Laurie - I'm happy to spread the Holmes love. I've decided to keep reading Holmes and read some of the short stories I've never read.<br /><br />Randy - This is exactly what I've been looking for. I tried to search for a sequel and, to date, haven't found one. Thanks!Scott D.
