Discussion Topics: A Sherlock Retelling

September 9, 2019 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

Earlier this year we voted on which Classic with many retellings to use for our second and third Book Clubs of 2019. Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet won and now you, dear Cannonballers, are able to choose any updated version of the Sherlock story to discuss with us in two short weeks. It can be a straight modernization, or a graphic novel, possibly even a gender-swapped version set in space, or a work of non-fiction. Whatever your choice, we’ll be back here discussing […]

Classic and a remix, and I’m not sure about either

A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

A Study in Seduction by Eva Chase

August 21, 2019 by Manimama Leave a Comment

CBR11Bingo Classic and Remix squares. I had never read anything by Arthur Conan Doyle before this. I have to say, I was a little disappointed. The first half of the book was about what I expected- introductions of characters, segue in to the mystery to be solved, Holmes solves a case that no one else can. I think most of the English-speaking world has some familiarity with Sherlock Holmes, whether through book, movie, television show or references in other pop culture. I wasn’t expecting the […]

“It’s quite exciting,” said Sherlock Holmes, with a yawn.” (CBR11 Bingo)

A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

August 18, 2019 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

My previous Sherlock experiences have all centered around visual adaptations, starting with The Great Mouse Detective (1986), but #CannonBookClub is always pushing me to read new to me things. My mind’s eye had a very specific versions of Holmes and Watson cobbled together over many incarnations Watson, to me, is an intelligent everyman who is aware of the things he does not know – as well as being a man of responsibility and duty. Sherlock is a bit testy, has a bit of tunnel vision […]

Better late than never for CBR? (Bingo Square: Classics)

A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

August 17, 2019 by Aquillia 1 Comment

I read A Study in Scarlet a few weeks ago to prepare for Cannonball Read and… forgot to review. So here’s my quick review before I dive into the discussion posts because I don’t want to be influenced. I’d read this before as a kid, when I went through a big Sherlock Holmes binge and read as many of the stories as I could get my hands on before I eventually got rather bored. Reading this now as an adult, I remember why I got bored–this one […]

Well, I Didn’t See That Coming

A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

August 5, 2019 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Classic The closest I had ever come to reading an actual Sherlock Holmes novel was a young readers’ version of The Hound of the Baskervilles more than two and half decades ago.  Since then, it’s been mostly adaptations like the Mary Russell mystery novels, the Guy Ritchie movies, and of course, the more recent Lady Sherlock novels.  The first two of those deal with Sherlock Holmes later in life, with the Holmes-Watson relationship already established, so I was surprised that the two men […]
