I first have to say the comparison between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Who are pretty spot on. I also thought there was some steam punk tech in there too, with Smith being a time traveler and all.Anyway, the story was well crafted, fun, and fast paced. There was never any spots of dull drag or any characters that didn't have some kind of spark. Specifically true for Smith and April, who's characters seemed stronger to me by the end of the book than some epic trilogies I've read.The overall plot was a little lacking, but seemed like it would open up later into a more grand scheme, which would be a welcome. Again, "little" being a key word in the above description. The book was adventurous, fun-filled, dramatic and humorously dark, giving Smiths personality a little more spark than it normally would have.Overall I'd give it a 4.5, but again Amazon has limited my ratings to ones and zeros. A must buy for any adventure, sci fi or mystery fan.
