Interesting, but Baring-Gould's Effort is Better,
By
This review is from: At Wolfe's Door: The Nero Wolfe Novels of Rex Stout (Paperback)
This was a good effort, but it mostly consists of extended plot synopses. The original - "Nero Wolfe of West Thirty-Fifth Street" by William S. Baring-Gould - still stands as the best offering for those who cannot learn enough about Archie and Nero.
Besides, Baring-Gould had access to Rex Stout, who was alive when this definitive work was written. What's good about this? Well, the plot outlines do help make sort of thematic sense of the books, and helps a reader keep his characters straight. It just does not add much of anything new.

Gives you a greater appreciation of Wolfe and Stout,
This review is from: At Wolfe's Door: The Nero Wolfe Novels of Rex Stout (Paperback)
I loved Nero Wolfe since I read my very first book. The rotund detective never disappointed...And of course, Archie Goodwin was the perfect counterpoint to the cerebral Wolfe. Goodwin was physical and did all the leg work while Wolfe sat back and ruminated...ultimately soving the mystery.
So when I learned about "At Wolfe's Door," I had to get it. It has given me an even deeper appreciation for the loveable, obese, obstinate detective... Also: If you've never read a Perry Mason mystery, you've got to do it. Like all the Wolfe books, every Mason book is a mentally challenging gem.
