I think that Sherlock holmes is very famous. when I study in university, I ask my friends about him. Hmmh... surprisingly.. Of course I was shocked, many of them didn't know about him. Is Sherlock Holmes is real famous???

As far as I'm concerned, Sherlock Holmes is famous. Perhaps not as much as he was back when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first created him. But still ... from what I've been told, Sherlock Holmes is famous.

Sherlock Holmes is famous for those who like detective story. But for those who don't like detective story perhaps will say who the hell he is. It is normal though. For example: people who don't know economics are asked about who is Amartya Sen will have no idea about that. I personally know Sherlock Holmes becase I like watching detective Conan series.

I am french and when we think of a detective we directly think about sherlock holmes, in the comprehensive school, we all must read a book of conan doyle. For me, Sherlock Holmes is a very very famous personnage!!!
