Product Information

There are no TV shows made as yet which are based on this series. However, considerations are underway to produce a teenage series based on these books.

Well, at times it did, and in fact, the storytelling seemed to be improving. Then at other times, it was a struggle to continue on with the book. It was very confusing. :/ especially since this wast a book I expected to have to struggle with. Book 1 proved easily entertaining. Why not this one? The thing that was most important to me was why Holmes became so cold and calculating, and why he was alone for the rest of his life," Mr. Columbus explains. "That's why he is so emotional in the film; as a youngster, he was ruled by emotion, he fell in love with the love of his life, and as a result of what happens in this film, he becomes the person he was later." [4] Duke Balthassar is the mastermind behind the conspiracy, and because of a medical condition that runs in his family, he has developed a bizarre symbiotic relationship with leeches. They help his blood not clot and, for the most part, keep him alive. Nadim Sawalha as Egyptian Tavern Owner, who Holmes, Watson and Elizabeth consult during their investigations With more of an action movie feel to it, I'm not sure what to think of this one. :/ I definitely liked the first book better. & while "rebel fire" (also published as "red leech") had it's moments, annoying bits dragged down its rating and my ability to enjoy it.Mrs Eglantine is seen to have real power in Holmes Manor and appears to have some hold over her employers. R.L. Shaffer writing for IGN in 2010, felt the film "doesn't hold up all that well" and that ultimately "the film shall remain a cult classic – loved by some, but forgotten by most." [24] DVD Verdict stated that the film was both "a reimagining of the detective's origin story, but it is also respectful of Arthur Conan Doyle's work" and "a joy from beginning to end."

While the film is based on characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the story is an original one penned by Chris Columbus. Though he admitted that he was "very worried about offending some of the Holmes purists", Columbus used the original Doyle stories as his guide. Of the creation of the film, Columbus stated:

Some of the tiles which may be published within the next year are’The Giant Rat of Sumatra’ , ‘The Segregation of the Queen’ and several others. Writing Style: Nothing impressive. The dialogue is rather modern, the sentences short and choppy. The Author doesn't spend a great deal of time on scenery description, which made me sad, because it made it difficult to visualize the world. Too much scenery description is bad, of course, but too little and it feels like the characters are doing everything in front of a green screen. The action sequences are easy enough to follow, though the fight in the boiler room was extremely difficult for me to picture. Anthony Higgins as Rathe. Ostensibly a teacher at Brompton School, he is in fact the leader of the Rame Tep. At the end of the movie, he assumes the name of Moriarty. He is an orphan boy from London and has a boat. A mysterious boy, he has many secrets. His father died in war.

Walter Sparrow as Ethan Engel, Curiosity Shop Owner, who Holmes, Watson and Elizabeth consult during their investigations and sells Watson Holmes' pipe Lots of great information in this book about railroad trains. And hot air balloons. Count Von Zeppelin makes an appearance. Why couldn't this have connected to a real story about something that mattered?So far there have been eight books released in the series, with the eighth book released in September 2015. Friendly, David T. (5 July 2000). " 'Purple,' 'africa' Pace Box Office - Los Angeles Times". Los Angeles Times . Retrieved 10 November 2013. Darnit, I liked this book - I really did! I'm giving it four stars, fercryinoutloud! The characters are well-developed, I cared whether they lived or not, and I liked the historical setting (though, again, I think Lane is trying a bit too hard, there; I'd like to see him do some smaller-scale stories, as most of the original Canon are, rather than the world-shaking high-politics things that have happened so far ... dang it, there I go again!). The chase scene. This was wonderfully well done. Mr. Lane has some talent here. I was rea..y into that scene, wondering if they'd catch the bad guys or not, very worried for Matty. Even though we know every little about him, I kinda like the scruffy little guy. Maybe some editing needed done. But the flip-floppiness I got from this book, definitely makes it a 2 instead of the happy 3 of book 1. :(
