people r different....

I love this book, not so much most of those later in the series. :)

I love the new BBC version.

I love the RDJ movies.

I fell in love with the original stories.

Don't like the American show for some reason.

Any questions?

I don't know exactly what aspects of the book the OP is referring to, but for me personally? I cannot understand how someone who likes all those adaptations and the original stories can like a book that treats Watson the way this book does. I literally can't wrap my mind around the concept.

(same as posted above)

Eh, I read the book and didn't get that from it, so opinions can differ. Totally bashing Watson can be anything people decide; I felt this was just making a slightly less intelligent Watson (like some -- many -- of the adaptations have over the years), but also a sweet and nice man, who just wasn't in it a lot.

The focus was on someone being mentored by Holmes. It was a yougn woman. I found that fascinating - not everyone will. :)

He wasn't just "slightly less intelligent", though. In this book, Watson is a complete buffoon and the author goes out of her way to have Holmes say that he was never a real partner, not like the teenage heroine is...

Yes, one question. Why do you think we care?
