RE: Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet

in Hive Book Club18 days ago

This character is always in style, @borderline.babe, and it's so nice to read someone approaching Sherlock Holmes for the first time. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

That quote you shared about "reasoning backwards" is pure Holmes, and it's absolutely right: almost everyone can predict consequences, but very few can reconstruct causes from a result. That's the essence of the deductive method, and Conan Doyle explained it brilliantly in A Study in Scarlet.

Are you going to read more of his stories? I recommend The Hound of the Baskervilles if you want something darker and more atmospheric. And if you liked this, I'm sure you'll also enjoy The Signal of Four.

Thanks for sharing your first impression. I enjoyed reading it. Best regards.

Siempre de moda este personaje, @borderline.babe, y qué bonito leer a alguien que se acerca a Sherlock Holmes por primera vez. Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado.

Esa cita que compartes sobre "razonar hacia atrás" es puro Holmes, y tiene toda la razón: casi todo el mundo puede predecir consecuencias, pero muy pocos reconstruir causas a partir de un resultado. Esa es la esencia del método deductivo, y Conan Doyle lo expuso de manera brillante en Estudio en escarlata.
¿Vas a seguir con más de sus historias? Te recomiendo El sabueso de los Baskerville si quieres algo más oscuro y atmosférico. Y si te gustó esto, seguro que disfrutas también La señal de los cuatro.

Gracias por compartir tu primera impresión. Me alegró leerte. Saludos.
