“We weren't Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. I was ok with that, I thought. We had things they didn't, too. Like electricity, and refrigerators. And Mario Kart.” Buddy read with my fellow mystery detectives Lucid Lucy and Mashiee Changed my rating from 3 stars too two stars because i never thought about this book again , it just didnt stay with me at all and i just coudnt connect. this isnt necersarry a bad book but just not my book. A study in Charlotte. is the first book in the mystery se

I'm crying that I finished this already and the next book isn't in at my library yet.Fast paced, hooked me right off the bat. I appreciate books that jump right into the thick of things, especially mysteries.Audio review: The narration was very good but I will admit that the mystery lost me a little and I would have probably preferred the print format to be able to flip around and put everything together better.tw: addiction, rape, murder, poison, bombing on a school campus, inappropriate use of...

I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes, so when I saw this book is about the descendants of Sherly and Johnny, I know I have to read it because... First of all, I went into this book with an expectation of murder, mystery and purely platonic relationship between the main characters. Despite shipping BBC's Sherlock and John (because how can you not ship Benedict and Martin?), I still love the relationship between the original Sherlock and Watson.They have the best friendship ever and I was hoping that the

I was well and truly Sherlocked before picking up this book--which I did with both hope and trepidation. You see, those of us who love the Sherlock world always want more. And there's a limited supply. Or, to qualify that statement: a limited supply of quality additions to the oeuvre. (Do you like that word, "oeuvre"? I hope so. I feel it is a very Sherlock word.)I'll cut to the verdict: YES!!! PARTY AT 221-B! Because Sherlock is back-- in female form, with a totally empathetic, very perfectly W...

I have to say, this book really took me by surprise! I knew as soon as I heard about a YA-Sherlock Holmes retelling that I would take well to this story, but I was not prepared for how much I loved it! CW: murder, talk of rape, substance abuse A Study in Charlotte is a truly fun and entertaining young adult mystery novel with a fabulous first installment. The plot was engaging, well-written, and unexpected. I especially enjoyed how the author weaved in actual tales of Sherlock Holmes as a way fo...

charlottejamie i'll lay down my life for u

oxy addicted female sherlock holmes & a soft hipster watsonthis was fun and dark and twisted. everything that one could ever want from a sherlock story, right? i'm not sure what i was expecting but i don't think it was this. i guess i assumed since it would be a retelling that it would be a little lighter and more fun.but i didn't laugh a lot. i did feel things though.first off, the characters were great. watson was easy to read, probably because he was narrating. and holmes was just fucking fas...

I first have start off by stating that I have never read any Sherlock Holmes books, I've never seen a Sherlock Holmes movie, and I've never seen any of the tv shows about Sherlock Holmes. I don't really know all that much about Sherlock Holmes at all. I liked A Study In Charlotte but I don't know if I would have liked it more or less had I not gone into this book almost completely blind of the history. This book has been sitting on my shelf for ages and I don't even know where it came from. I do...

Full review postedMy heart has been needing this book for longer than I realized I needed this book.- THIS. BOOK. IS. BLOODY. BRILLIANT. For a number of reasons - Aside from the fact that I read this book in less than a day and that I physically could NOT stop reading it, this book is the murder mystery you’ve always needed- You got a snarky know-it-all girl- You got a nerdy precious boy- WHO ARE DECENSANTS OF SHERLOCK AND WATSON I MEAN GOALS ANYONE????- So after a murder took place on school gr...

DNF at about 50% *This review contains spoilers* I am going to lay this book aside for now. Maybe it has to do with me finishing The Winner's Kiss recently, which made me a mess and in no shape for reading anything else. At least partly The Winner's kiss is to blame, but mostly I am disappointed with A study in Charlotte, because it started like such a promising light funny read and then turned - abruptly - into something dark with serious issues, which weren't handled properly in my

2 1/2 stars. This was fun in parts, but it really didn't do for me what it seems to be doing for a lot of readers and critics.A Study in Charlotte follows the descendants of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson as they solve crimes on a modern-day college campus. In this story, both Sherlock and Watson were real people and Arthur Conan Doyle was Watson's literary agent, who helped publish the tales of their cases.Many years later, Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson find themselves caught up in some co...

This was tons of fun! I’m a Sherlock fan, but not a super fan by any means. I’ve watched the BBC show and know the basics about the story but I’ve never actually read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s tales (though I plan to!) So with my knowledge of Sherlock in mind, I thought this was an excellent tribute. Watson was just as I’d imagine him, and Sherlock was fascinating, as per usual. Together the pair made an incredible power couple. This has some hints of romance that I thought would annoy me but I a...

“I felt like I was being pulled through a dark, dank wardrobe into some boozy Narnia.” This was the most unexpected treat! I thought that I might enjoy this one, but I never expected to fall completely head over heels for it, especially after reading A Study in Scarlet the night before starting this! This is a reimagining of Sherlock and Watson, but told in the perspective of their descendants, Charlotte and Jamie, in modern day! And, oh my gosh, this was just fantastic! Jamie Watson

This was a rip-roarin’ good time! Not at all what I was expecting but it was definitely v enjoyable. Also I am a fan of Charlotte’s big dick energy. Such fun!

When Jamie Watson gets shipped off to boarding school in Connecticut, he is sad about leaving London behind. After arriving though, he quickly finds himself elbows deep in intrigue and thinking nothing about 'shoddy ole' London.In an alarming twist of fate, Charlotte Holmes, the descendant of the infamous Sherlock Holmes, also attends this very same boarding school. Coincidence? I think not.Jamie, the descendant of John Watson, the very one who penned those cute little Sherlock Holmes tales, has...

I really hoped this would be better. But in the end I just felt like the story was ridiculous. I'm utterly disappointed by this. I didn't expect to love it by any means, but I didn't expected it to be this bad. I'm a very big fan of the Sherlock BBC tv show featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, so this being related to Sherlock Holmes I expected to at least enjoy it, but nope. And now please enjoy this Sherlock gifs filled review! (also I get pretty mean in it, so if you love this b...

“i don’t need someone to fight for me. i can fight for myself.” a sherlock holmes ya retelling? oof, count me in. as i love the bbc sherlock tv show and i’ve been craving rewatching it for the past few days, i knew this was the right time to read this one. and that was absolutely correct. i almost would’ve finished it within 24 hours since i only had about 20 pages left last night, but i was really exhausted and i didn’t want to rush it because i had enjoyed it so incredibly much thus far and t

Well, this was utterly ridiculous as far as mysteries go. And also ham-handed in its handling of both rape and drug use.

Quick-Fire Review: I don't know what's more alluring, the cover or the synopsis. I especially admired the book's ties to the Sherlock Holmes mysteries and was wildly impressed by how fluid and natural the connections were between the two. This book balances the line between paying homage to Holmes mysteries and also being fresh and original. A Study in Charlotte brings a thrilling plot, spot-on characterization, whip-smart writing, and a puzzling mystery that will keep you guessing until the ver...
