blackrabbitrun's review against another edition
adventurous
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? No
3.0
A mixed bag. Some entertaining, a few shockingly racist, many gimmicky. "Holmes meets Arthur Conan Doyle!" is only an interesting premise once, and in this book I think it happens four or five times. Needs more supernatural, and for the love of Cthulhu, fewer Americans. Why is there an American in every other story in the book? Are middle-class white Englishmen too exotic to relate to? None of these stories alone would be annoying, but oh does it pile up.
The ones that don't fall into any of the above categories, though? There's some real keepers in there.
