The Game is Afoot (part II)!

May 1, 2016 by bonnie Leave a Comment

Hey guys, only like 10 more reviews to write!!!! [sob] We won’t talk about the stack of grading or the article revision due next week now, will we? No, we will not. Let’s talk some Sherlock instead.

I had read this novel many years ago, and I didn’t remember much of anything about it. I’m afraid to say that a similar impression stands now after a re-read. Granted, it’s been awhile since I read this (I think? Honestly, I have no idea anymore, guys. I’ll be limping to the CBR finish line with no idea who I am or what my name is, THAT’s how crazy my semester has been) and my brain is a bit fuzzy on details that don’t relate to my teaching, article revision, or job hunt. That said, I don’t think that The Sign of Four is that memorable, aside from a character who gets a much better story on the BBC Cumberbatch-Freeman lovefest. Read my full review to find out who (although, frankly, it’s not much of a surprise now, is it? But for clicking on my blog, you get a delightful gif. See, I’m not totally lazy!!!)

Filed Under: Fiction, Mystery Tagged With: Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes
