Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles Audiobook

" As a long standing fan of the Holmes series and Hound of the Baskervilles in particular, this was an eye opener. I will not spoil the surprises for anyone but if you want to see the story from a whole new perspective, then this is the book for you. I thought it was terrific and would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in Conan Doyle's stories. "

" Some of his theories about the autonomy of fictional characters is kind of out there for my liking, but he provides a creative and eloquent re-reading of the Holmes mystery! Quite good. "

" An interesting take on The Hound of the Baskervilles and what really happened. "

" A solid interpretation of the Holmes novel, and a quick primer on post-modern critical analysis. "

" Gives an interesting take on Sherlock Holmes and how he did things. Highly recommend this book "

" Bayard advances the theory that Sherlock Holmes had the wrong killer in The Hound of the Baskervilles. Unfortunately, it sounds a little more interesting than it is! I wasn't expecting Freudian analysis or literary theory. But still, I stuck it out, and he has an interesting idea. "

" Detective fiction lovers may appreciate the winding analysis of Doyle nd his relationship to the enigma he created; more accesible was the solution as to who the real killer of the Hound of Baskervilles is. "

" Love/hate relationship about this book. After reading it, no other mystery is quite the same. "

" Highbrow theory wrapped in a murder mystery package, which appropriately opens with a quote from Jasper Fforde. I wish I'd had access to this for my masters thesis, what with all the comparisons between real existence and fictive existence. Oh, well. "
