Locked Rooms

[prof_pangaea]

I finally got Locked Rooms from the library yesterday (there were many middle-aged women in line for the book before me, it seems), and finished it today. My (very brief) thoughts below, as I have to get ready for class. There will be more, OH SO MUCH MORE, when I have the time.



Mary: *is an idiot*
Holmes: *is omniscient*
Narrative Device: *is clunky and distracting*
Dashiell Hammet: *is random and senseless historical cameo character*
Me: WTF??
Dialogue Between Holmes and Hammet: *is bad. Very bad*
Every Other Cameo Character: *is wise and understanding*
Laurie R. King: *makes terrible, TERRIBLE reference to The Maltese Falcon*
Me: *is horrified, calls cesario out of insanity*
Cesario: *laughs maniacally*
Plot: *is pointless*
Me: GAH



I need to go finish reading the decision in Marbury v. Madison now.

You thought The Moor was boring? It's one of my favorite books in the series.

Eh, we'll just have to hope that the next one is better. *crosses fingers*
