The Sherlockian by Graham Moore
2.0
Pretty disappointing, actually. (1.5 stars) I don't know quite what went wrong for me---most of the elements were sound. I guess I wasn't a fan of the main character, or the yawn-worthy hetero romance. Most of the characters had an aftertaste of cardboard/Gary Stu-dom, including Arthur Conan Doyle.
Super-duper-main-character-boy even has this whole monologue three-quarters of the way through the book about how he knows that him being a straight white male affects his love for the Victorian era in general and Sherlock canon in particular---but though I appreciated the thought, even that was annoying.
