andrgynz 's review for:
The Italian Secretary
by Caleb Carr
I really enjoy Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories of Sherlock Holmes. I have read a few Sherlock stories written by other authors but always like the original best. The same is true here. Caleb Carr is very familiar with Great Britain historically and his descriptions of environments and objects are spot on. But I felt that the descriptions of our Holmes and Watson duo were lacking through and through. The story was interesting enough but nothing made it really scream “this is Sherlock Holmes-ian!”
Ah well. It was alright. Wouldn’t really recommend.
“We believe we act accordingly; others tell us that our beliefs are false; yet how can they be, when those beliefs have persuaded us, sometimes many of us, to alter our behavior?“
