I love Sherlock Holmes, just enjoy the character, his precise skits and the crazy figure that minimizes the story all around.
But I didn't have a book of Holmes, so I took another.
I was in a mood for an old-fashioned thriller. I wanted a steam train, a severe lack of political correctness, a gallery of circus figures that included counties and princesses, and an old-style detective with no too fucked-up life that interrogates and finally explains to the public the way he came to the solution. show more All this and more I have found here, in this flawed and fun thriller that, though written decades ago, was amusing and surprising to me, and at the end, it was interrupted in a moment when a great moral stench rose from it and challenged me, mainly because I agreed with it unconditionally.
It was a pleasure, but I still prefer Sherlock Holmes. show less

Una biografía interesante, aunque demasiado breve, entiendo que las circunstancias no habrán permitido explayarse más, pero hay demasiadas cosas que se tratan muy por encima y merecerían más atención. Lo que encuentro excelente es el trabajo de Wurm, el ajustar su estilo al de Jacobs es todo un acierto. En las secuencias oníricas es especialmente brillante pero las escenas cotidianas no se quedan atrás y su retrato de Bruselas (Casi otro protagonista del libro) te deja la sensación show more de estar ahí. show less
