- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The writing flows logically, but there is not much plot. The language is so stilted, it is hard to get through the pages. I am only giving this two stars because the writer was technically able. Perhaps someone in middle school would enjoy this. This book was a chore to even try to read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a collection of very short stories, but rather long sentences. The son of Sherlock Holmes is shown to be more appreciated for his abilities to slip in and out of places unnoticed than for his deductive abilities here. He is not ON cases so much as CREATING them, to get cash. I liked it for its interesting transitional references--between the 1880s of Sherlock Holmes and the modern world of today, I learned a few interesting things about clubs, about recorders, and about 1905 New York City! Capital. But story-wise, it's really over before it's begun, for each tale.
