I thought it added depth to the Holmes character which is often missing in pastiches (not to mention the canonical works) ( ) Many sources of controversy among Sherlockians are resolved in this book; Watson's wound(s), Holmes' University, Holmes' American sojourn and the true cause and events of "The Great Hiatus". the text is supplemented by liberal use of period photographs and other illustrations. Since many of the events recounted here are controversial, many Sherlockians will disagree with this presentation and even say it is non-canonical. I found the presentation to be quite readible and internally self-consistent as well as imaginative. The occasional neologism and american phraseology didn't seem to be too obtrusive. That doesn't say I found the book particularly convincing, but it was an enjoyable read. It was entertaining and moderately plausible, but it didn't compel belief and it didn't feel like it had been written by the Holmes of the Canon. There was no fire and no brilliance about it. It was worth reading and well-researched but not memorable. I say that advisedly as this was my second reading and I found that i didn't remember it at all well from the first time some ten or fifteen years back. As a pastiche, it is interesting but not inspired. As commentary, it is plausible and comprehensive without the shrill tone often used by true believers. The author did a good, workman-like job that deserves attention. Reviewed by: Philip K. Jones, 2003 sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The great detective's own account of his early career, most famous cases, and final confrontation with Professor Moriarty, which contains much information never previously put before the public. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
