Koach_Bot Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 THe chat on The Five Orange Pips was interesting, but we all missed our fearless leader Grip. This was our first discussion of a Sherlock Holmes story, and some chatters felt the story was perhaps a bit too long. The story was unusual in some ways, we were all in agreement that the ending left a lot to be desired, there is something a bit unsatisfying in a story where two completely innocent people are murdered and the guilty parties are not captured and brought to justice. The fact that Sherlock Holmes figures out who committed the murders doesn't help when they drown at sea instead of face hanging. We are now rating our stories on two factors, entertainment value and artistic value as follow: Entertainment value--- 5--One of the most engrossing stories I have ever read 4--Very entertaining, I would recommend it to my friends 3--A good read, I might recommend it to people whom I know share my interests or tastes 2--I would not recommend this story to others 1--A really bad read, I am sorry I wasted my time with it Average rating for The Five Orange Pips was 2.6. Artistic Value--- 5--One of the most engrossing stories I have ever read 4--Very entertaining, I would recommend it to my friends 3--A good read, I might recommend it to people whom I know share my interests or tastes 2--I would not recommend this story to others 1--A really bad read, I am sorry I wasted my time with it Average rating for this story was 2.8.
