A difficult read. The multiple versions of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson make it impossible at times to read the action-filled scenes in a moderate pace. More than once I found myself hitting my forehead when I noticed that I was imagining the wrong guys, so to speak.
On the other head, I consider this an important piece of "literature" in the Sherlock Fandom. It combines multiple elements which are rarely found together. Homophobia, the ontake of different adaptions, the supernatural element combined with Sherlock Holmes' love of deduction based on logic.
Did I enjoy the read? No, not really.
Did I like the story? Yes, yes I did. A lot. Enough to rec this. it certainly contains a lot of creativity, a lot of effort, and last but not least, a lot of great ideas strung together.
