3.0 out of 5 stars A Sherlockian Satire
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018

Not what I expected, though I really cannot say exactly what was expected. A fun read. Lots of historical characters acting pretty much as one might expect each person to act. It's a book you'll have to read just to find out what the heck I'm trying to say about it!

2.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time to read

Way too many characters. It doesn't flow. It's not smooth at all. It's just a jumble of way too many characters who are way too different from each other. It's ridiculous. A waste of time to read.

This is full of references to other characters from literature throughout the ages. The plot is relatively straightforward. The comedic portrayal of fictional characters and how they interact with one another is very satisfying. A good read!
