Book Reviews of Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of Baskervilles: BBC (BBC Radio Presents)

Book Review: A 7th Grade Review
Summary: 4 Stars

I enjoyed this book. The only problem I found was that the beginning doesn't do a good job of reeling you in. However, the farther into the book you get, the more exciting the plot becomes. Sometimes, the only reason I kept on reading the book was because I knew what was coming next. The story does make up for what it lacks in the beginning in the end.
The case starts out when Dr. James Mortimer brings a case to Sherlock Holmes. The detective dubs it; "Very suspicious indeed." It concerns the mysterious death of a very rich and respected man, Sir Charles Baskerville. He apparently went out for his nightly walk the day before he left for London, afraid of the family curse. Later that night, Sir Charles was found dead with no harm at all to his body. Now the new heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, has been warned to leave Baskerville Hall - or else.
With Sherlock in London, and Watson left alone to deal with the case, there doesn't appear to be much hope to stop the villan. However, the great detective may be up against more than just human forces. The curse of the Baskervilles, started by the evil Sir Hugo in the early 17th century, has been haunting the Baskervilles ever since. Sir Hugo fell in love with a yeoman's daughter and swore he would marry her. He kidnapped her and held her prisoner in Baskerville hall. Shortly after, she escaped. Hugo chased her down the moor on horseback until she died of exhaustion. When Sir Hugo's companions finally caught up with him, he was dead. Standing over his body was an enormous black hound plucking at his throat. Now the hound has returned, can Sherlock and Watson defeat their greatest enemy yet?
I give
"Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles":4 stars.
