Funny, but use of 'N' word offensive,
By
This review is from: Lestrade and the Sign of Nine (The Lestrade Mystery Series) (Volume 12) (Hardcover)
Inspector Lestrade, along with his Sergeant George George must track down a killer who bludgens his victims all over England and Wales, selects only bad people, and is described in a number of ways. Sherlock Holmes and Watson get in the way with Watson being every bit the incompetent Doyle made him out, but with Holmes being cruel in his own supposed intelligence.This is a very funny book. Full of puns, cockney-accented discussions of the meaning of the dialectic and the coming revolution, police incompetence, and British bungling, it will make you laugh out loud. The final sequence, involving a number of police in black-face and frequent use of the 'N' word was intended to be funny. I found it offensive and dropped my rating as a result. |
