So this week I finished another amazing book. It’s the forth book from a set of books I have already reviewed, but most of the authors are writing more so I will be probably be talking about the same book a few times. Still, I love when they write more books on a series because I hate when they end. I guess I could do what doctor who does, he pulls the last page out so It never has to end.
This weeks book was Young Sherlock Holmes : Snake Bite, by Andrew lane. I finished the first four Young Sherlock Holmes at the start of July. I really love the first four books I thought they were amazing and I couldn't put them down. My fingers were glued to the page. But not literally glued because then I wouldn't of been able to see what happened next.
Kidnapped and taken to china, Sherlock finds himself plunged into adventure. How can three men be bitten by the same poisonous snake in different parts of shanghai? Who wants them dead, and why? The answer seems to lie in a message hidden in a diagram like a spider’s web. But solving it leads to an even more urgent question: what has all this got to do with a plot to blow up an American warship? Sherlock is about to experience greater terrors than any he has faced before… Sherlock Holmes: think you know him? Think again.
I would say my favorite character but It was just Sherlock that was in this book, that was one thing I didn't like about the book. Usually I would say Mycroft is my favorite because he is just awesome, he works for the government and is super mysterious.
I have to say I didn't like this one as much as the first four. I was hoping all the characters were in it because I want to learn more about Amyus Crowe’s back round. Also there wasn’t as much action and
adventure in this one. The ending with Mycroft’s letter was something I wish I hadn't read.
I’m not happy with Sherlock and Virginia. The way they are going is not good and I found the ending very bitter. I may as well be angry because I want then to be together or for Virginia to die some kind of horrible tragic and heart wrenching death which destroys Sherlock and explains his aversion to relationships, but I guess not…
Even so it was well paced, interesting as always and with a nice little mystery involved. I would recommend for twelve’s and up for this book and would give it eight out of ten. Anyone who loves Sherlock Holmes like myself will love these books, hopefully as much as I did.
Over all it was a interesting, funny, full with adventures, mystery and a little scary at parts when they were close to death.
Andrew Lane has written another amazing book.
