Summary
Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius. Warlock Holmes is an idiot. A font of arcane power, certainly. But he's brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn't deduce his way out of a paper bag.
The only thing he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart companion. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety and save him from a gruesome death every now and again.

Better than the original.
I have read the hound of the Baskerville's many times but this was better. Warlock Holmes is a wonderful character, complicated, compassionate and funny. All the characters are excellent, clever versions of their originals, as are the stories and the narrator is perfect.

Lost interest halfway through
It started off quite interesting. There were several shorter stories/ mysteries at the beginning that I really enjoyed. However for the last 3 quarters of the book it was just the one story, "The Hellhound of the Baskervilles" and I found myself not caring, losing interest, drifting off. It dragged on far too long compared to the stories at the beginning.

Sherlock Holmes will never be the same
What did you like most about Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles?
The geriatric Hell-Hound, the literal-minded demons, the usual shenanigans, the somewhat dim Holmes and as always; Watsons comments. And of course, the landlady.
What other book might you compare Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles to, and why?
Sherlock Holmes, but with demons and a fairly dim-witted Holmes. This is clearly a spoof on Sherlock Holmes, but a lot more entertaining.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Any scene with Watson annoyed. Also trying to figure out which Sherlock Holmes story is being mangled (with added demons)
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
If you have to, make an anime. A "normal" film can't do this justice.
Any additional comments?
And waiting for the next installment...

The game is a foot Whatssssa
Really fun and refreshing. Does not take itself too seriously. A rip roaring romp around Victorian London. Excellent narrator who brings the characters to life.

Another Winner
I love these books. Bit of a spoiler next. When listening to the first book I wondered if it was written by an American. When I heard the inclusion in this audiobook of the hilarious description of a Canadian, I knew it must be written by an American. Genius. So adventurous and funny. I’m glad there’s more books in the series.

A great series so far!
Warlock was at it again, with good old Watson at his side keeping him (mostly) alive. I really liked getting to learn more about the making of Warlock Holmes, and his back story was superbly crafted for his character.
This is a truly excellent series so far!
