Not accurately described

I ordered like new and received barely acceptable. Pages were creased and the cover was torn and barely holding together. It’s also not the one in the picture. I’ve always gotten nicer than I expected before, but not this time.

"The Hound of The Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle was interesting from the first page. There's already a mystery to be solved right when you open the book, with a mysterious cane left in Watson and Sherlock's office. Doyle keeps each page filled with suspense and thrills. Even as I read, I could hear the low, mournful sound of the hound that Stapleton keeps locked up baying across the moor. The characters are amazing and funny. Sherlock Holmes keeps me giggling with all of his oddities and eccentrities. Watson is amusing with his normal assumptions next to Sherlock. The mystery is intriguing and darker and deeper than it first appears. The book can actually be rather creepy and suspenseful, unlike the other mystery novels where they're solving the typical robbery, or something like that. The only thing that I didn't like as much compared to other authors I've read was that his sense of description wasn't as good. I had to rely more on my imagination to see the moors as he described it rather than what it really looked like. Yet in spite of that, the novel was comedy, mystery, and a pinch of horror all rolled into one delicious enchilada.
A Good Read
