[inevitableentresol]

It's good to rant sometimes.

I find ACD's style clear and enjoyable and his flow of words excellent, but I keep being pulled out of his stories by his racist ideas like 'criminal types' and Sherlock's smug reliance on fake sciences like phrenology.

Just because I don't like the stories doesn't mean I have difficulty understanding them. Even though that wasn't the exact point of the secret, it annoys me too.

I felt like having a good old rant on this subject, then I came here and saw you'd been ahead of me and done it, although at a slightly different angle. All the satisfaction with minimal effort. Excellent.

It is one of my hobbies...

I don't really know, I've read a bit here and there and it just can't hold my interest, I can't exactly comment on how his writing style is except I am pretty sure the style wasn't the only reason to why it didn't hold my interest.

It might not have been the exact point of the secret, but I felt like it was a step away from saying it, and I just don't get this attitude.

You are more than welcome to write your own rant, I would be interested in reading it!

More classist than racist, but yes, the ideas often grate to modern ears. I can elide over them or see them in the historical context whilst enjoying the story, and sometimes ACD surprises one.

As you say, you weren't actually addressing OP's actual point.
