Yeah, I don't hate it, I just don't care for it. ^^ It is a good start to the series, I'm just glad it didn't stay that way for the darker books.
Young Sherlock Holmes is actually weirdly like a Harry Potter precursor. It's three kids (two guys and a girl) in an English boarding school, trying to solve a supernatural mystery. And it is quite scary, especially the hallucination the girl has at one point. O_o And as much as the depiction of bumbling Watson can be annoying, Watson was adorable in that. XD
I just Googled "Red Fairy Book", so I'm not sure. Hang on... *runs off to check copy* Ah yes, it's the tale of Soria Moira Castle. In it, the young man has to kill the multi-headed troll to save the princess behind him.
