Review: A Study in Scarlet

-
A Study in Scarlet A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It was good introductory story of Mr. Sherlock Holmes,the formidable self-proclaimed consulting detective and Dr. Wats0n. I found the 2nd part of the story, the back story part, very boring and a bit hard to get what's going on. Literally, the story shifts from murder detective story to a medieval revenge love story plot. But anyways, it keeps you occupied and amazed nonetheless.
Loved the introductory part, the amazed of Dr. Watson frrom the deductive skills of his newly found flatmate and incredulous plot and characters.
Some of the lines that I liked are as follows:
" I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. " - Sherlock Holmes
"Do you remember what Darwin says about music? He claims that the power of producing and appreciating it existed among the human race long before the power of speech was arrived at. Perhaps that is why we are so subtly influenced by it. There are vague memories in our souls of those misty centuries when the world was in its childhood." - Sherlock Holmes
" What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is, what can you make people believe you have done." - Sherlock Holmes

It's not the general plot that holds with with the book, it's the amazing storytelling that I as a reader found different and adored. Also, the plot being tight is just an other added bonus to the box of ecstacy you get from it. It's a book about life, love, kids, parents and most of all people being idiots all the time. Good Idiots, I mean. It's about a silly bank robbery of a cashless bank and hitherto the un-precedented hostage drama of idiots by an idiots. It'll make you laugh, cry and feel a wide variety of emotions throught it's course. Also, I loved the way the author Fredrik Backman, dealt with the topic surrounding suicide, it's influence on the protagnists, the way every

What if our endless observable universe is just a body, more or less like our own human body?          Earth is a just cell in a wide array of space or just an energy flower molecule, like one of the millions present in our body.              Imagine a whole unit capable of working on itself with just the right type of food provided to it externally, like glucose to our cells and solar energy to our planet. Imagine a single human cell with all of its subunits working day in and day out for production of food or to assimilate energy, isn’t it similar to the organisms going on their lives to procure basic necessities.   Mitochondria being the energy generator in usable form for the cell, while plants doing the same for us. Different organelles within a cell to perform different functions for its sustenance, similar to vivid, specific functional roles of a biological species for the ecosystem. Cell able to exist on its own just like the planet, with some sort of external energy sour
