5. Compare this book with the last book you read.
I will compare between two mystery books the first one is The women who disappeared and the other one is The sign of four. Both of
them have a detective and a women that need a help also there are a trouser or a lot of money. I liked this book because the mystery
was so attractive and you can’t thing of the solution easily and I am a fan of Sherlock Holmes stories.
VI. Evaluation:
2. Is the title a good one or a poor one and why?
Good one
Because it attracted people who love mystery and Curious. Also it’s the most mystery thing in the story that everyone who was
murdered in the story will have paper written on in it the sign of four.
