This bothered me throughout the entire book which consists entirely of letters between two boys using 'Sherlock' and 'Watson' as their pen-names for the sake of anonymity. The enormity and severity of their back-story and issues faced are gradually/eventually revealed and these proved sufficiently engaging to keep me
