Young Sherlock Holmes

review 1: I can't believe how good this young adult series is! I have never read a Sherlock Holmes book (I did see the movies) and the character doesn't particularly interest me but this series about YOUNG Sherlock Holmes is just so good. The Sir Conan Doyle heirs and estate endorses the author, Andrew Lane. His attention to detail is wonderful and he tries to give 14 year-old Sherlock the background and beginnings of the interests and knowledge that Sherlock Holmes later has and knows. This is book #2. The American War Between the States is recently over and young Sherlock, in England, doesn't think that the assassination of President Lincoln has anything to do with him. But his American tutor, Amyus Crowe, is American and apparently somehow John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's assassin is... more in England. Sherlock is drawn into the adventure and danger by his insatiable curiosity first in England and then when he sails to New York with Amyus and his spirited daughter, Virginia. The men with Booth will stop at nothing to save their plans and it's an exciting adventure all the way.
review 2: Rebel Fire was a wonderfully adventurous book, except I wasn't quite sure when the main adventure started. The concept of the plot was enticing but it could have been structured a little bit better. This book has great word choice and sentence fluency, though. I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time, wondering what was going to happen and how the trio would manage to escape the trouble they were in. Overall, the book was well-written and a great read. I am glad to have spent some of my time reading it. less
