themadblonde's review
5.0
The best Sherlock Holmes parody I've ever read. The fact that is is also a parody of Fu Manchu, Fantomas, Walt Disney & many other sacred cows also helps.
In itself, it's a fun little adventure story, but adding the layers of parody just makes it better & better, like the green veins in Sage Darby cheese, or the little fudge fish in Phish Food ice cream. As long as you have the faintest idea who Sherlock Holmes was & what Disneyland is, & have a good sense of humour, you have every possibility of loving this book too.
