- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This cool book was enthusiastic and was written very well. This book used advanced language. This story was interesting and kept the reader entertained and could see and hear the people, or me at least. It was explained quite well. I’ll be sure to checkout some of your other books!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have a special fondness for this story as it’s the first Sherlock Holmes story I remember reading. Holmes is presented with a client who answered a job advertisement seeking only red-headed applicants. He takes the job, but is puzzled by his duties, and he turns to the great detective for answers. This is Holmes’s famous “three pipe problem”. Once he’d finished his pipe, he understood that there was no time to waste to prevent a great crime.I sympathize with Watson, who admits “I was always oppressed with a sense of my own stupidity in my dealings with Sherlock Holmes. Here I had heard what he had heard, I had seen what he had seen, and yet from his words it was evident that he saw clearly not only what had happened, but what was about to happen, while to me the whole business was still confused and grotesque.” Fortunately, Holmes is always willing to explain his deductions, or we would all still be confused!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Being a red head, was a tad disappointed to hear no mention of a red headed woman.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As the second Sherlock Holmes story I have read, this was much better than A Scandal in Bohemia in my opinion. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars also though despite enjoying it more than the previous because I felt that there should have been a bit more action, but overall this was a great enjoyable story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5James Alexander narrates this in a pleasing manner. Somehow, much of the humour and nuances of Holmes come across better for me here than when reading the book. This is only the one story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is just funny case.I thought Wilson was foolish person.He was just used by bank robbers.But Holmes noticed the attempt behind the Red Headed League.That league was the attempt of bank robbers.Holmes caught the bank robbers by beating them! I was surprised by his brightness!He saved the city bank from the bank robbery.I thought he was great!
