Review: Not the original

The story was fine, but not as good as the originals.  I guess writing additions to a classic is very hard.  I even reread some of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories to help me evaluate.  While "Sherlock Holmes: Year One A Novel" is an OK story, it just doesn't measure up to Doyle's writing.  It was a quick read and a decent story that held true to the originals, but still lacked the spark of the classics.  So if you want a good replica instead of an original, this is it.
