A review by balletbookworm
The Sherlockian by Graham Moore
3.0
I find this book very...meh (wish I could give half-stars, since it wasn't quite "this book is not good" but it wasn't quite "this book is OK" because I view 3-stars as "OK" and 2-stars as "not good" with 1-star as "I want to set this on fire"). The Sherlockian wound up keeping the bathroom counter company because the constant alternating chapters between 2010 characters/mystery and 1900 characters/mystery got on my nerves - making it an excellent book for reading while on the pot. One chapter at a time.
I couldn't decide if the main character was Harold or Arthur.
I was interested in the 1900s mystery....for a while. The diary mystery wasn't very interesting. And then the ending....I've read a lot of reviews that loved this book but it just wasn't anything to make me jump up and down. It was just "whatever" and I love Sherlock Holmes stories. Maybe I expected too much.
