This was a collection of short stories starring Sherlock Holmes or Holmes-like characters written by various authors. Like most anthologies, some stories were great and some were junk. But, most of these stories were enjoyable. Which was good considering how long the book was. My favorite stories involved a Martian version of Sherlock Holmes and a story where Watson outsmarted both Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. I enjoyed reading this collection. ( )
I understand now that I prefer the original canon. I don't need the same details rewritten a thousand times by different authors.
I would highly recommend it to any other fan looking for variety past Doyle. I read most of it and those stories I did enjoy.
Though upon borrowing it from the library, I learned I prefer the originals or single stories in a single book form, just not so many all in one place. ( )
