The Hound of The Baskervilles is one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories, so when I saw you had it in graphic novel form I had to get it! The drawings are really intriguing. The artist gave their own spin on Holmes and Watson, but still made them completely recognizable. The storyline is fast paced and condensed enough that it would keep anyone's attention. Well done. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I would say this book is "fine." <i>Hound of the Baskervilles</i> is always good, and I love Sherlock Holmes in almost every iteration, so I was excited to get to read a graphic novel! However, I was kind of disappointed in the art -- it seemed awkward, and didn't really grab me at all. Since the main point of this book's existence is to tell an already extant story in a new way through art, that was kind of a huge bummer.

Graphic novels are great in that they lure in people who would perhaps have never read the story otherwise. This almost seems unimaginable to us who are fans of Sherlock Holmes and deeply appreciate his wit and word play in his relationship with Dr Watson.

In this novel, I like the way they introduce the story and the cast of characters.

I did like that when they took you back in time to 1742 they stuck with a print font instead of cursive making it easier to view. Also, the graphic weight of the piece which is thick with dialogue, especially in the 1st half, seems decent.

This novel does focus on the main characters, perhaps a little bit more than I would have liked, early on. But, I felt the artwork and display of emotion on page 62 was outstanding and the focus on the shoe in the mud ....beguiling. ..along with the split in the way they captured Dr. Watson peering in the window.

I was not extremely fond of the speech balloons with the exception of the brilliant one depicting the moon. But, I'm viewing a small galley so the work may appear differently later on, and in print edition.

In general, I think this is a great graphic novel. l felt the 2nd half of the novel out-shown the first. And that feels authentic to how stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle read....as the story builds and cycles through some small crescendos before the reveal.

I highly recommend. And look forward to seeing this graphic novel in print.

It's been ages since I've read the actual novel of this story so I'm not sure how faithfully it reproduces it, but it was a fun overall read although it also felt like it was maybe a little bit rushed. It was fun for me to read because no matter what it seems like I can never actually remember 'whodunit' with Sherlock Holmes stories so it's like every time I'm reading it for the first time again. I don't know if that says something about the stories themselves or my memory or both. I would probably recommend this for casual Sherlock Holmes fans who are maybe just looking for a quick refresher on the story and don't necessarily want to go back and read the entire book.

ARC Copy...good decent depiction of the classic tale especially Holme's temperament, the creepy feel of the moors with a hound roaming about (although felt more Victorian-gothic horror) and the general breakdown of how the case is "solved".

First off I like to say that I'm really not interested or into graphic novels, but when I saw this I decided to give it a try because it was The Hound Of Baskerville ,which is my all time favorite Sherlock Holmes book, and unfortunately this graphic novel didn't just make the cut. It actually fell short of how good the actual story is, while it did some ways follow the story the graphics just didn't bring it to life.With that said I would like to say thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity and the chance to read and review it in change for my honest opinion.

I absolutely adore all things Sherlock Holmes. He is one of my absolute favorite literary characters. I really love his wit and sarcasm. Even more than that I love his relationship with Dr Watson.

This comic is well drawn and very visually pleasing. The main idea is laid out in an easy to follow manner. All of the important bits were included.

My one complaint is that the characters fell short for me. I didn't feel like the characters we know and love were portrayed in their normal light. It didn't so much take away from the storyline, but I feel like it took away from the experience.
