5.0 out of 5 stars Genius July 27, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

In my 16 years of existence, I have read the complete Sherlock Holmes 4 times, yet they still continue to amaze me. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a genius, and it shows through his whole series. This book combines 4 of the many great mysteries that make the Holmes legend live on. Definitely worth much more than the 80 cents!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's puzzles are engrossing. May 4, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I have read the Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of the Dancing Men and Other Sherlock Holmes Stories and in all his stories he reveals that marvelous skill of deduction through keen observation. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is showing us through his writing how much information you can get about a person, place or thing just by observing it. I was amazed as to how he was able to discipher the code of the dancing men. Before he reveals the answer you should try to figure it out because it is possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars quality December 28, 2005

By Victor The English

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I believe that the Dancing Men is one of the best of Sherlock Holmes. It shows the deductive power of a detective to break a secret code with very little information.

Excellent book. Strongly recommended.
