The Beauty of Sherlock Holmes.

Finally, i'm getting around to liking this book! I think I'm finally nearing the beginning of the plot (sad right?) but it's finally getting good. The more I read the more intense things get so I figured I might as well give this book a shot.

Come to find out at one time Green and the American were good friends. However, their friendship didn't last very long. During the time that Green befriended Dame Jean, she also allowed him to write a biography on her father (Conan Doyle). This was rare for the Doyle Family, most other relatives despised things being written about Conan but Dame Jean allowed and even promoted it by helping Green write it. She believed that unlike other writers who simply wrote whatever they thought, if she helped with the writing her father would be written in a respectful manner with the help of Green. Although, the American was working with Green on it, and behind his back twisted the stories into something very differently. Believing Green was a fraud, Dame Jean outcasted Green and adopted the American as her designated writer. Over time the American (Richard) got closer to Dame Jean than Green had been and Green envied him. Richard told the narrator (whom he met at a bar) about how Dame Jean believed that the Holmes books were a curse and that whenever any other Doyle (including Conan himself) tried to write another book they would be compared to the Holmes books. Infact, Doyle even killed off Holmes once but with little popularity of his other book and much pressure, he brought Holmes back to life. Also, many movie stars who played Holmes in movies were suspectible to the Holmes curse also, with the character engulfing their minds and going into calypso. Over time Doyle was called upon to solve detective using the same tactics Holmes used, but over time even Doyle's mind went into a calypso.

I know I know, it's alot. It's starting to sound a little bit like inception with the creator being engulfed by his own creation, or maybe even Frankenstien. This books really starting to get interesting, but I have one question, with so little characters and the plot bouncing around, Who's even narrating this Book? I guess that's the beauty of Sherlock Holmes.
