Young Sherlock Holmes 6 Books Collection Set Andrew Lane

Product Information

Writing Style: Nothing impressive. The dialogue is rather modern, the sentences short and choppy. The Author doesn't spend a great deal of time on scenery description, which made me sad, because it made it difficult to visualize the world. Too much scenery description is bad, of course, but too little and it feels like the characters are doing everything in front of a green screen. The action sequences are easy enough to follow, though the fight in the boiler room was extremely difficult for me to picture.

R.L. Shaffer writing for IGN in 2010, felt the film "doesn't hold up all that well" and that ultimately "the film shall remain a cult classic – loved by some, but forgotten by most." [24] DVD Verdict stated that the film was both "a reimagining of the detective's origin story, but it is also respectful of Arthur Conan Doyle's work" and "a joy from beginning to end." [25] Awards [ edit ] Not only do we get a good sense of England of that era, but we also get a good look at India, since the cause of the crime originated there. There were also some pretty great occasions of fanservice/ trope play, but it sometimes feels like the author is writing and essay about past Holmes stories when he has Watson literally quote himself and cite which cases the quote came from. Mrs Eglantine is seen to have real power in Holmes Manor and appears to have some hold over her employers.

Rate And Review

Holmes transfers to another school and Watson gives him an antique pipe that he bought during the investigations as a Christmas/farewell present.

Elsewhere in the city, a hooded figure with a blowgun shoots two men with thorns that induce nightmarish hallucinations, causing their apparent suicides. Holmes brings his suspicions of foul play to Scotland Yard detective Lestrade, who rebuffs him.

John Scott Martin as Cemetery Caretaker, who saves Holmes' life by frightening off a Rame Tep assassin At the 58th Academy Awards for films produced in 1985, the film was nominated for Best Visual Effects ( Dennis Muren, Kit West, John R. Ellis, and David W. Allen). Anthony Higgins as Rathe. Ostensibly a teacher at Brompton School, he is in fact the leader of the Rame Tep. At the end of the movie, he assumes the name of Moriarty. The film is notable for including the first fully computer-generated photorealistic animated character, a knight composed of elements from a stained glass window. This effect was the first CG character to be scanned and painted directly onto film using a RGB laser. [9] The effect was created by Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic and John Lasseter [10]

So far there have been eight books released in the series, with the eighth book released in September 2015.Nadim Sawalha as Egyptian Tavern Owner, who Holmes, Watson and Elizabeth consult during their investigations Darnit, I liked this book - I really did! I'm giving it four stars, fercryinoutloud! The characters are well-developed, I cared whether they lived or not, and I liked the historical setting (though, again, I think Lane is trying a bit too hard, there; I'd like to see him do some smaller-scale stories, as most of the original Canon are, rather than the world-shaking high-politics things that have happened so far ... dang it, there I go again!). Maybe some editing needed done. But the flip-floppiness I got from this book, definitely makes it a 2 instead of the happy 3 of book 1. :(

The chase scene. This was wonderfully well done. Mr. Lane has some talent here. I was rea..y into that scene, wondering if they'd catch the bad guys or not, very worried for Matty. Even though we know every little about him, I kinda like the scruffy little guy. There are no TV shows made as yet which are based on this series. However, considerations are underway to produce a teenage series based on these books.

All-in-all, the story was worth the read. I do like the educational aspect of both of the books so far as Lane attempts to paint a fair but informative view of various historical events. After a school rival frames him for misconduct, Holmes is expelled.He has one last duel with Professor Rathe, the fencing instructor. While Holmes says goodbye to Watson, Waxflatter is shot with a thorn and stabs himself. Dying, he whispers the word "Eh-Tar" to Holmes. Some of the tiles which may be published within the next year are’The Giant Rat of Sumatra’ , ‘The Segregation of the Queen’ and several others.
