Independant Book

For my English class we have been assigned to read a book of our choosing. After reading our last book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and watching the film Sherlock Holmes I have rediscovered my love for Sherlock Holmes. I made the decision to read The Seven Per-cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer.This book dives into the drug addictions and torments of Sherlock Holmes. Meanwhile, his partner and companion Dr. John Watson tries to aid in the breaking of these destructive habits. So far in the novel, Holmes's addiction has taken a strong hold on him and his brilliant mind. He is going crazy. He locks himself in his dark house on Baker Street, he refuses to eat for long amounts of time, he is stalking his old math tutor for his childhood because he believes him to be the criminal master mind Professor James Moriarty. Dr.Watson has now come to the conclusion that his poor friend needs help and needs it quick. He has travelled to the medical school in which he earned his education and degree. He is now consulting the opinion and help of his old friend, a man named Stamford.
