The Final Problem

This book was just fantastic."The Final Problem" is the last book in the "Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", it is also the book where he faces Professor James Moriarty. This book was adapted for the episode "The Reichenbach Fall" on the TV series "Sherlock". I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Moriarty is Menacing and extremely intelligent and is definitely Holmes' equal. 10/10 I highly recommend it.

No characters seemed to change in this story. Holmes' was a bit more scared because of Moriarty. Watson was the same as he always is. Moriarty the same as he was introduced, "The Napoleon of Crime". He was creepy and you feared him. So only Holmes changed to become much less confident.

The Theme in this book is good versus evil but there is a sense of finality apparent also throughout the book. At the beginning of the book Watson talks about having a "heavy heart" while writing this and during the story giving the sense of finality and throughout the book they talk about Moriarty being Holmes' ultimate foe reflecting a theme of good versus evil.
