claudia_is_reading's review against another edition
5.0
Full disclosure: I simply adore Jeremy Brett, and I DO believe he is and always will be the perfect Sherlock Holmes.
So you can imagine that I embarked on this reading hoping to find a soulmate... and I did :P
The author goes through all the episodes of the Granada series and some extra performances, giving you lots of information and delightful behind the scenes tidbits, managing to bring upfront Brett's character and professionalism.
Going episode by episode the book highlights all the little details both in performance and production quality that made this particular incarnation of Conan Doyle's books is considered the definitive one for so many people.
There are quotes by Jeremy Brett himself, but also by David Burke, Edward Hardwicke, Michael Cox... oh, too many to remember all But those I found more enlightening in regarding Brett's personality are the ones from Rosalie Williams :)
A fascinating book, perfectly narrated by Luke Barton ♥
Oh, well, it looks like my annual view of the Granada's series will come early this year :P
