Reviews

[Doug · Rating 3 out of 5]

Astonishingly fresh for a book so old. Holmes writes in the voice of a blogger, friendly, zippy, funny, and with thrust. It's sad to think that all the clever pop culture references we make nowadays will someday be as impenetrable as Holmes's.

A fun light read for the park.
