Question About Book
I have just finished reading it, and have only one more qustion to address. When Watson was on top of that guy's roof (cannot remember his name now) and he was looking through the telescope, he was a boy carying food to someone. This later proved to be Cartwright. My question is, as Watson met Cartwright in London earlier in the book, wouldn't be able to recognise him immediately after seeing him?

Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of the Baskervilles
Hello Everyone, This may seem silly, but I'd really appreciate any help I can get with this: A long time ago, I had 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' on television. Unfortunately, I cannot remember who starred in it, but I remember the shot where Stapleton is being chased on the moor towards the end and he mocks Sherlock Holmes by using the following words: "You can never catch me, Mr. Holmes." before losing step and ending up in the mire. Now I thought Jeremy Brett starred in this particular movie but I was mistaken and on account of several of the re-makes of this classic being available, I have no real clue :( Can you help me with this? Thanks in anticipation, Spooks

Doyle
I think the book was a good book to read if you were/are trying to add to your vocabulary or learn to comprehend more details in a short amount of pages. Therefore I liked the book for those reasons, only.

I agree!
I agree that you really need to read this book. I feel that all of Doyle's works are so great that they should put his stories in leather bindings.

Holmes on clues
As a PI, this is my favorite. It makes you think outside of the box.
Reminds me of the statement:
"The lack of clues lead to the arrest of the Invisable Man."
There are a lot of people in prison based upon circumstantial evidence...
"a lack of a clue can be much more revealing!"

I am a senior in high school...and I read the novel The Hound Of Baskervilles because it was required for me to read two works of a British author for my term paper--and I chose Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I read the book and it was really good, and I am actually glad that I read it because it was really appealing. Also, for my termpaper, after reading two novels--one I have yet to read called The Poison Belt, I need to come up with information connecting Doyle's life with his works...and I am unsure of how to do so. If anyone could possibly give me some links to help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
