I remember finding everything about Freud pretty dull - the mystery was not good and it was mostly about seeing Sherlock Holmes interact with Freud, which isn't something that interests me at all. ( )
As a self-professed Sherlock maniac, I've read many pastiches in many anthologies, but I had never read an entire novel (except the four in the original canon). I was engulfed in this romp that almost bordered on comedy in some scenes. Having Sherlock meet another "real" famous person who's responsible for helping Holmes quit cocaine was ingenious and fun. The voice of Watson also rings true; Meyer definitely wrote with Watson's complete voice in mind, and to me, it worked. Having Meyer be the "editor" is another genius touch--similar to Doyle being the publisher of the "real" adventures of Holmes as chronicled by Watson. I found this to be more of a character study than a true puzzle that needed solving. The last third of the book was an intense chase scene on trains. We didn't even need Holmes to explain everything to us at the end like he usually does in the canon stories. The fun is in the history and the thoughts/actions of the characters themselves. ( )

Introduction:
For many years it was my good fortune to witness, chronicle, and in some instances to assist my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, in a number of the cases which were submitted to him in his unique capacity as a consulting detective.
The discovery of an unpublished manuscript by John H. Watson may well engender in the world of letters as much skepticism as surprise.
As I stated in the preamble to "The Final Problem," my marriage and my subsequent start in private practise wrought a subtle but definite alteration in the pattern of my friendship with Sherlock Holmes.

And it will surprise no one to learn that when it came to write down what had occurred, I followed Sherlock Holmes's advice to the letter.

This is the book The Seven-per-cent Solution. It should not be combined with the film; do not be misled by the fact that the author of this book also wrote the film's screenplay.
