Review: BEWARE desertcart ONCE AGAIN GROUPED REVIEWS TO OTHER BOOKS HERE - Most of the reviews are for other products. This is a wonderful book. It isn't the Holmes stories. Still a five star book. The book is laid out to give an overview of Doyle himself and narratives on major characters - Sherlock, Watson, Moriarity, Lestrade. Each description running from five to ten pages each. Followed by well written descriptions of each of the adventures, the four novels. A nice side work of what was happening in Doyle's life and world events etc. There are lots of full color illustrations and black and white photographs included. The descriptive breakdown of each story help fans with insights into what's going on in each story. There are some good pieces on the influence that Doyle's writings and characters continue to have on his readers and other writers as well. A really well done work on the subject. Very interesting reading. Review: Great for Sherlock Holmes fans - This book begins with a short bio of Conon Doyle and then goes over all things, Sherlock. It discusses the short stories and novels. Then it goes over Holmes, influence on the detective genre. In the end, it went over all the adaptions of the stories through the years as well as other characters that were parodies of Holmes. It was a great way to show the history of a literary character that is as popular today as he was in Conan Doyle's time. Great book any Sherlock Holmes fan would love and a great jumping-off place for new fans to see the magnitude of the character. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #607,628 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #75 in Mystery Literary Criticism #148 in Mystery & Detective Literary Criticism #178 in British & Irish Literary Criticism (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![The Sherlock Holmes Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained (DK Big Ideas) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91YfBzaEZGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEWARE AMAZON ONCE AGAIN GROUPED REVIEWS TO OTHER BOOKS HERE *by I***) on November 3, 2015* Most of the reviews are for other products.
