Khéo Tay Hay Làm - Thế Giới Búp Bê Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jane Bull

I once read a fantasy review that said, among other things, that when people finish something they like, look around and can't find more by the same author or of the same quality, they'll settle for a cheap imitation because it's better than nothing. The vast warehouse of Holmes pastiches is a vivid illustration of that statement; in absence of new Sherlock Holmes stories, or even a detective that they like as well, people will read some CRAP. Man, there are hundreds of imitation Holmes stories out there, and to my bemusement, there are more every year. For heaven's sake, last year there was a major Hollywood movie AND a new British tv series based on the master detective. No matter how you feel about the liberties taken, that's quite a tribute for a guy who's been dead for nearly a century - if he had ever really existed at all. At any rate, Dr Jekyll and Mr Holmes is a new one to me, although it was published in the 80s. I'd flipped through Estleman's other pastiche, the Sanguinary Count, and didn't care for it. This one's a different kettle of fish. It's by no means a very exciting read, but the tone, the characterization, even the deductions, are pretty in step with the original. I'll happily add it to my shelf, and also look out the other books in the Further Adventures series, only one of which is familiar to me. Because truthfully, I'm no different from any other fanboy/girl; if there's no more of the original to be had, I'll settle for imitation. Although I do draw the line at crap (most recent addition to that list would be The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls).
