5.0 out of 5 stars NIFTY SHERLOCKIAN JOURNEY THRU INDIA AND TIBET., July 19, 2006

This review is from: The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes: The Adventures of the Great Detective in Tibet (Paperback)

No doubt, Conan Doyle himself would enjoy this singular adventure through 1889 Bombay, and into Tibet. When the evil Moriarty falls from the cliff, and Sherlock disappears, our detective hero gets involved in some nasty business, and learns much about Tibet, Buddhism, and mountain journeys. A mix of Doyle, Kipling, and even Indiana Jones, this is an adventure that never stops, and with a really eccentric group of characters, including the future Dalai Lama. With enough wit and humor thrown in ,this is one "Can't Miss" Holmesian takeoff. Possibly, some of the mysticism may be overdone, but still a fine way to spend a few wee small hours!

This review is from: The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes: The Adventures of the Great Detective in Tibet (Paperback)

This book is a great mix of history and adventure and who better to be the tour guide then, Sherlock Holmes. The only problem I had with it, and it wasn't so much the story as it was with the book. The little historical tidbits could have been put to the back. This would have made the reading more fluid and smoother.
