What kind of person is Sherlock Holmes?

Sherlock Holmes is a brilliant, well-known detective, who lives in London at 221b Baker Street. In the book A Study In Scarlet, Holmes is known to be 27 years of age. I understood Holmes’ personality to be kind-hearted, observant, and very intelligent. Holmes has kind of a strange way of thinking. He doesn’t know things that most other people know. He only knows things related to his job (Detective) or very small details that he thinks will be important later down the road. Holmes doesn’t know about things like the solar system. He thinks it is very interesting to learn about but he doesn’t keep that kind of information in his brain after learning about it, as most people do.

Holmes lives with his roommate Dr. John H. Watson, Holms and many other people just call him Watson. The two men get along very well together in their apartment. Holmes tells Watson his ideas and Watson tells Holmes what he thinks. Holmes is very smart but it is better to have two people’s thoughts on one idea. Holmes is reached to solve cases in London when other detectives get stuck on a case. Sherlock Holmes is an expert in solving murder mysteries, “Sherlock Holmes solved 60 cases which were included in the stories and novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle”. ( How many) Holmes, in my opinion, is the smartest detective ever. He is very smart and observant.
