Sherlock Holmes changing my life

I really like Sherlock Holmes books and movies, they really impress me, and now Sherlock is my favorite book character. Sherlock came into my life summer of 2010. I was in Ukraine that summer in a book store with my mom and my best friend. I was looking for some special Ukrainian book to read in U.S because I was tired of English. I was looking through books and I couldn't find anything I wanted and then my friend told me: “Try this book Sherlock Holmes, trust me it's really good” and then I was like “OK, sure I bet I wont like it” I was really lazy those days and I didn't like to read but I bought it.

I started to read it in Ukraine on the other day I bought it. I only wanted to read one story and the first one seemed the shortest so I decided to read it. I started reading in and after five minutes nothing seemed interesting, he just listened to a case and started thinking. But after he started thinking it was getting intense because he was picking up the smallest details and putting them together like a puzzle. That whats got me so interested in it.

I'm still interested in it even though I read a lot of stories about him. I think it's good to sometimes go back read the story again and pick up on some details that I missed. I like to think about his cases and try to solve them with Sherlock. Sherlock changed the way I look at things and taught me to pick up even on the smallest detail because sometimes it can be a solution. I have also learned to think more complex than I did before, think about things that seem to be kind off of topic when they really aren't.

I like not just Sherlock Holmes books. I also really enjoy watching movies about Sherlock Holmes. There is a not that big of a difference between the book and a movie. Sometimes movies can be based on the book but filmed differently. But usually movies help me visualize what I read and help me understand it more. But if I had to chose...
