Title: Better early, than late
Review: When I ordered this two-book combo, I had already read a copy of the first volume. This set was actually bought in order to replace it after a "water-damage incident." I also wanted to read the second volume, to find out what the rest of the story was. With this set, you might as well have both books. But if you don't, I prefer the first over the second.I'll just state that part, if not most, of the second half could have been left unwritten. As one of the short stories says, Sherlock himself would write 'dry', actionless accounts, and this seems to have happened in "The Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes." This is somewhat remedied in a m"made for T.V." series- starring Jeremy Brett- which makes any storyline changes seem light-handed.
Is the review positive or negative?
