A Study in Scarlet

We finished off our discussion today. It was rich! But we missed Brad. So many ideas and opinions - we had to work to take turns talking. Mrs. Garcia wanted to join us, but wasn't able to because of our team meeting. Some other adults commented on our group and how interesting our discussion was.

Most of us thought that the "part one - part two" business was too abrupt. The back story (ala "Lost") was interesting and helped us understand Jefferson Hope and the murders, but it was so strange to travel from 221B Baker Street to the Mormon wagon trains in Utah.

Overall, most of us enjoyed the book and had fun picking apart the clues, the characters, and the story's plot line. No one officially took care of treats, so we just raided the chocolate jar on my desk.
