Personal response : Oh my goddess... What a horrible story about Holmes it was... I don't want to trust this story. It told me how Holmes was being mad. Really bad. He used cocaine, he became crazy. Only Watson could know it, and he tried to save his best friend... Could he succeed? I don't know. But I'm sure that he was really nice friend, and Holmes was too smart. I don't believe this story was real. I will NEVER think about this scary and awful story again...
