laurieb755 's review for:
Mycroft Holmes
by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Anna Waterhouse
Part of me wants to say "short and sweet", though at 300+ pages it really isn't all that short. However, I read it fairly quickly so it seemed short. In any case, this was an enjoyable romp and an interesting imagining of how Mycroft Holmes got his start - what formed his impressions and philosophy.
The NY Times Sunday Book Review's article got me interested and the team of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Anna Waterhouse did not disappoint. I confess that part of my interest stemmed in wanting to see what type of writer and story teller Abdul-Jabbar was. Having read the book's author bio for him I now want to read some of his other stories, including those for children.
If you are a Sherlock Holmes fan then this book will not disappoint, and Mycroft would be pleased to know that his early efforts have not been forgotten!
