A Brief History of Sherlock Holmes
I am a huge fan of pretty much anything Sherlock Holmes, so when I saw this book come into work, I just had to buy it. Promising an insight into Sherlock Holmes, and his creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as an overview of all the stories and characters, I couldn’t resist.
It begins with a short-ish auto-biography of Conan Doyle, I honestly think this was the best part of the book. I found out a few gems I didn’t already (like how Sir ACD spent a few years at a school just down the road from where I live), and I was looking forward to the rest of the book.
However, the book soon took a turn for the worst. The later on in the book you go, the more spelling, grammatical, and naming errors you come across. The whole book soon begins to read like a first-year university student’s dissertation, completed at 7am on deadline day.
A good book to have as reference, I suppose, but not recommended for recreational reading!
