The mysterious Holy Ghost Writer has done it again, this time weaving two classic tales into one for his inspiration: Sherlock Holmes and Huck Finn. Who would have thought of that?In the story, Sherlock Holmes recounts a slightly different and expanded version of the events of Huck Finn's life, including his later becoming a detective under the tutelage of Holmes himself. I wondered how these stories could possibly fit together, and the way it's done is pretty ingenious and actually comes out very natural.The voice of the book is in true Finn form, with twangs and drawls of the old South abound. If you've ever thirsted for another adventure from Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, the Holy Ghost Writer is here to indulge yet again. A classic adventure story with familiar characters you know and love, this book is sure to please any reader.
