Watson Is Not an Idiot

An Opinionated Tour of the Sherlock Holmes Canon

By: Eddy Webb

Narrated by: Dominic Lopez

Over the past few years, Sherlock Holmes has exploded in popularity. The character has made a huge impact on the 21st century, with multiple interpretations gaining a growing audience of new Sherlockians. But many fans of Sherlock and Elementary know very little about the original stories themselves. Watson is Not an Idiot is an opinionated exploration of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original canon, written to illustrate interesting features and historical elements of the stories from the perspective of a lifelong fan of the material. It's not academic, but a companion - the passionate, excited, and sometimes ranting friend who sits alongside you and points out interesting bits. Watson is Not an Idiot is perfect for the first-time listener of the stories and fans curious about starting a more critical understanding of the material.

Excellent, enjoyable and entertaining!

The title itself was so intriguing that I had to listen! I loved Eddy Webb’s synopses of the stories and his humorous and insightful commentary. I learned a lot about the ACD canon and it also gave me things to think about. The narration by Dominic Lopez is perfect and keeps the listener engaged.

I LOVE IT!

Oh, this book is such a joy! It's like sitting with a friend and talking about a favourite topic: Sherlock Holmes, of course!

I really enjoyed all about this book, yes, it's informative but it's also funny and so easy to listen... I found myself agreeing out loud with some of Mr Webb rants, particularly the ones about Watson although we also seem to share a view on some of the short stories *laughs* Yes, there are points in which we disagree, but where would be the fun otherwise?

Seriously, if you enjoy Holmes' stories, this is a must-read/listen.

Dominic Lopez does a really great job with the narration.
