I too have been a Holmes fan for a long time, and I'm thrilled with the way King has fleshed out his character - he is completely believable, and makes sense based on Doyle's original characterizations.<br /><br />As for casting, I'm going to decline that one b/c I honestly have no idea what the names of most actors are ... I just don't pay that much attention. LOL<br /><br />I hope you'll drop by my blog again - I love hearing from new-to-me readers. :)Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-29636247046534880482010-10-20T19:39:17.073-04:002010-10-20T19:39:17.073-04:00So great to find another Russell/Holmes enthusiast...So great to find another Russell/Holmes enthusiast. This is one of my very favorite series and I reread several of the books all the time. Wonderful writing.<br />King makes Holmes a flesh and blood man, finally. It doesn't hurt that I am a BIG Sherlock Holmes fan from way back.<br /><br />Yes, Jeremy Brett was THE Holmes. I often spend time casting the Russell/Holmes books.

I think you're the first person to complete it! <br /><br />Also, I have to chime in with a bit of praise for Jeremy Brett. I don't think another actor will equal his depiction of Holmes.

With this series it makes the most sense to go in order, but at the very least you must start with the first book first.

I'd HEARD about it - at least who the main actor will be - and I'm a bit leery ... I'm such a fan of the "old" BBC version and I'd hate to see that image messed with. But I'll reserve judgment until I see a few previews. :)<br /><br />What do YOU think?Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-49695407203304663932009-04-14T08:13:00.000-04:002009-04-14T08:13:00.000-04:00Oh I can't wait to try out her books.
