A review by ayavandenbussche
The Narrative of John Smith by Arthur Conan Doyle
2.0
What I have learned from this reread is that writing about boredom can become terribly boring.
It is an interesting work for Arthur Conan Doyle fans such as myself. Some of it reads like a diary, some reads like a prep for Sherlock. There are some good ideas, but I cannot call this a great work of literature. I would not categorise this as a novel or a novella. It is an insight to an author's notebook, where he sketched some ideas. It is not a great read. It is an interesting one for a fan.
