The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Whitechapel Horrors - Edward B. Hanna - Google книги Very well researched. So many endnotes, and most of them were full of little facts that didn't pertain to the information, but were just a bit of backstory for things to come together, even though they weren't needed for your understanding of what was going on in the novel. Weaving of fact and fiction. Hanna handled all the characters pretty well in my opinion. Clear understanding of Holmes and Watson a That was a letdown. Clear understanding of Holmes and Watson and all the other canon characters. Along with that, he was good with the real people that were mentioned in the book. Well paced. I hate a book that isn't paced well. Like things happen too quickly or too slow for the size of the book. This one was well done. There was a good time between the murders, allowing for sufficient time for Holmes to search out the suspect. A good job of trying to fit in other cases around the center case. I thought that was unique, really. Most authors wouldn't dare try to do that since all the cases are scattered and there's no real way for us to know the chronological order of any of them, but I thought it was a nice touch to further immerse the reader in the story. Now, to the things I didn't like so much. Just please stop. Hanna had a grasp of how to do accents, yes, but they weren't done at the right place. I didn't think that Holmes would say "Yaas. Not to mention the difficulty of reading the accent and still gathering the meaning of what was being said. The point of this book is to just throw something out there, but Hanna did not give a killer at all. Left it as ambiguous as the real case is. I can admire him for that, but I would have wanted some hairbrained theory to be put to light because it's all for fun. Completely fictional, after all. The confusion of dates and such, I don't like that. In my head everything gets twisted around when they try to stick things in -- such as with the extra cases that I did dote upon earlier. It makes it a touch difficult to keep things straight, especially since their is no certainty about when the cases happened in Doyle's order. Characterization of Doyle's characters. It felt a bit off throughout the novel. Just something was off about it that made me pull away from the book to try to figure out what was off about it. Third person. Sherlock Holmes is one of the few things I think ought to be in first person. Reading it in third threw me off quite a bit for a good while since I was looking forward to reading Watson's random comments on the novel. Overall, this book held my attention, introduced things that I hadn't known before, entertained throughout the novel the whole idea that it was royalty or, at least, not a common folk doing the crimes, and Hanna did a good job with characters that weren't easy to write. There were things that needed to be ironed out, but that doesn't make it a bad book at all. A very enjoyable book to read, that is thoroughly researched and footnoted by the author, but the ultimate solution kept me from giving this a five star rating. Hanna has written a book that entertwines classic Holmes' adventures with the horrors of the Jack the Ripper murders very well, and I couldn't put it down. Watson and Holmes' voices were true to their characters as were the other "notables" that appear. I just wish the solution for Jack's identity had been better Dec 30, Robert Spencer rated it it was ok. In his dedication to detail concerning the Ripper murders, I'm afraid Hanna allows the pace to dawdle far too much. I thought the choice of a third person narrator a bit odd, especially as the conceit is that it is all based on lost notes by Watson. The ending is unforgivable, I won't say more than that. A monster is stalking the streets of Whitechapel, killing five women and frustrating not only the police service but also the esteemed Sherlock Holmes. It is quite refreshing to see a failure in the 'Further Adventures' series, but the novel feels off because of the third person narration. Hanna definitely did his research, both about the Holmesian canon and the Whitechapel murders. I particularly enjoyed the sense of historical context and the glimpses into Mycroft Holmes and his relationship to various figures of the time Prime Minister Lord Salisbury, Lord Randolph Churchill, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, etc. Hanna manages to make the tired Royal Con Edward B. Hanna manages to make the tired Royal Conspiracy theory of Jack the Ripper fresh and compelling, as well helped by a somewhat ambiguous ending. There were some truly breathtaking scenes, including an almost-silent showdown staredown? That said, it's not a perfect work; because it's written in the third person rather than from John Watson's point of view - a necessity, since the Hound of the Baskervilles case falls in the midst of the Whitechapel murders, and Watson therefore is away from London - the reader loses much of the warmth and humanity of his perspective, and always feels a step removed from the characters. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Sherlock Holmes's take on Jack the Ripper although my favorite of these pastiches to date remains Dust and Shadow by Lyndsay Faye. It's quite a satisfying read, especially for its sense of setting, both in terms of place and time. Jun 22, Riju Ganguly rated it really liked it. Fusion of truth and fiction is fascinating for several reasons, foremost among them being the efforts on part of the author s to resolve the inconsistencies related to dates and events. Although this particular brand of fusion has been attempted at in several previous works, beginning with Ellery Queen's Fusion of truth and fiction is fascinating for several reasons, foremost among them being the efforts on part of the author s to resolve the inconsistencies related to dates and events. Although this particular brand of fusion has been attempted at in several previous works, beginning with Ellery Queen's "A Study in Terror" and reaching an astounding pinnacle or nadir, since opinions do differ in such cases in Michael Dibdin's "The Last Sherlock Holmes Story", this work amazed me due to several reasons: 1. The amount of research put into it would astonish several Ripperologists, while earning admiration from the followers of "The Game" assuming that both Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson were real persons propounded by late William S. Inconsistencies in the chronolgy deduced from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works have been neatly fit into the calendar of Ripper-murders. The story is eminently readable, despite the author's steadfast attachment to the Royal conspiracy theory. My only grievance is that Mr. Hanna could have given the work some sort of finality, rather than trying to be too tactical and keeping Watson as well as us in animated suspension Holmes KNEW! It is for this last minute shifting of thrust towards the truth of Ripper remaining elusive that I am taking one star away from my ratings.
