I was hoping to dispel any qualms about the book's quality-- doesn't seem like that worked...<br /><br />@Christopher<br />No argument on this front from me. As much as I liked this book, there's no comparison.<br /><br />@Sergio<br />I think you'd enjoy it.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-8246111003376044222011-12-04T04:00:16.819-05:002011-12-04T04:00:16.819-05:00I think the stories that make up The Exploits of S...I think the stories that make up <i>The Exploits of Sherlock Holmes</i> were also meant as a (semi) official continuation of the canon, with approval of the estate and Doyle's son as co-author. <br /><br />Anyway, in spite of your well-balanced and honest review of its strength and weaknesses, I will not be placing an order for it anytime soon, however, I probably won't be overly disappointed if I will ever read it.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-43985908784616542052011-12-03T16:11:42.167-05:002011-12-03T16:11:42.167-05:00Horowitz's best work by far is "Foyle'...Horowitz's best work by far is "Foyle's War."Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03343947041898057102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-25662116984217316902011-12-03T13:37:58.633-05:002011-12-03T13:37:58.633-05:00Definitely one to put on my Christmas list I think...Definitely one to put on my Christmas list I think. I am not normally a huge fan of Horowitz as a scriptwriter or novelist, usually finding his plots somewhat unsatisfactory, but from what you say I am intrigued - especially after George Mann's decidedly unimpressive REIFICATION OF HANS GERBER audio play which I just got through and which I had hoped to like much more. <br /><br />SergioSergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
