I have continued reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. One thing I noticed while reading was that Doyle get really descriptive in the story The Blue Carbuncle while describing a hat that is part of Holmes' latest case. He describes every feature of the hat, even the stains and smells. While reading the description, it was like I had the hat with me and I could see exactly what it looked like. He even went as far as to describe the little marks from a pen that was used to keep the hat looking a little bit better.
Doyle also describes people's reactions well, like when Holmes is asking a salesman who sells geese, he gets really mad for absolutely no reason, he really goes into detail about how the person spoke when he was asked questions. Doyle did a great job with how in depth he went with the descriptions, he didn't go overboard and bore the readers and he didn't leave the readers clueless of where the story is or what is happening.
I like how you give your opinion on the authors style opposed to how I post on the authors creativeness in the story.I would however(trolling a bit now)recommend that you type up a bit more on your posts but then again thats just me so you continue doing whatever.
