My book is The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection and it contains 56 short stories and 4 novels. It is the largest book that I have ever read so far and it is over 1000 pages. It is about a consulting detective named Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. John Watson who is a injured retired war doctor. They embark on adventures from mysterious diseases to weird creatures. The stories are set in the Victorian era where Holmes and Watson live in a apartment in 221B Baker Street. Sherlock Holmes possesses some peculiarities like being a drug addict, chemical analysis and various other things. To the reader of the books the most amazing thing about the book is Holme’s “Science of Deduction” in which he deduces things that are not obvious. In one story he deduces a whole series of things about Watson’s pocket watch. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in mystery.

There are 7 books in the series and there are movies about Harry Potter as well. J.K Rowling is the author of Harry Potter.
