I finished the book. I don’t think I have ever really read a mystery novel before, so it was a fun change of pace. I didn’t read the OP before starting the book, so Holmes shooting cocaine came as a big shock to me at first. Given the time though, it makes sense. Lots of that colonial racism as well. One part I enjoyed was when Holmes was all sexist and talked about how you couldn’t trust women, and Watson didn’t like it. He did just ignore it though. Overall, a fun read!

apophenium posted:That final chapter being a weird postscript frame story thing while also being the longest chapter in the book felt like a really odd way to end things. It was interesting, sure, but felt very indulgent. I agree with this as well. The last chapter felt out of place, like it could have been done differently. Just very out of place in the whole of the book.
