Review: The Real Sherlock

The Real Sherlock The Real Sherlock by Lucinda Hawksley
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Hooter: A series of conversations to understand Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Talking to various individuals who have studied or interacted with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to recreate his thought process and journey beyond his journals and his writings. While there are some interesting facts about the esteemed company he had in school and later in life, his wonderful journey to the Arctic on a whim and his near death experiences add some color to an otherwise monotonous rendition filled with ample repetition of thoughts and interviewers.

Honestly, it doesn't do enough to whet my appetite about Arthur Conan Doyle or his inspirations behind Sherlock and it's journey. If you are a hard core ACD fan, you might get through this to ensure you can fill up some checklist somewhere.
