Rating:  Summary: Campy fun. Review: I found this book to be utterly repulsive. As far from Conon Doyle as you can get. It's hard to imagine Stanley Hopkins, Wiggins, Watson and all those wellloved characters being homosexuals. Only someone with a perverted sexual preference would find any joy in this disgusting excuse for literature. All it's good for is toilet paper or lighting fires with.

Rating:  Summary: Campy fun. Review: This book is one of the most amusing I have read in a while. Many clever Wilde quotations are worked into the dialogue. It honestly isn't much of a mystery novel, but it is great fun to read if you have the right sense of humour. If you are a fan of both Sherlock Holmes and Oscar Wilde, this may be the book for you.Warning: Do not read this book if you "dislike" homosexuals or if you are looking for a straight (if you'll pardon my pun) mystery. You will not enjoy it.
Rating:  Summary: Agenda Drives the Plot and Characters Review: True fans of Holmes and Watson - avoid this book. I couldn't even finish it. The central character is actually Oscar Wilde, and the story is actually an attempt to entrap Holmes and Watson in a modern-day agenda. I have no ill will toward that agenda, but it drives the plot and the author distorts the characters in unbelievable ways. To the author: If you're going to write a book to push your agenda, make it subtle and keep the action honest.
