    Wonderful!

    I loved this book! The author has created engaging characters and the pace of this adventure is spot on. I could not stop reading it. Even if you are put off for some reason by the steampunk genre but you like adventure and dectective novels you should still give this a read I think you will be pleasently surprised.

    A page turner

    i've also read the author's other book, "The last days of earth". His writing is easy to read and the characters are interesting. If you like your steampunk with a dose of mystery or if you are a Sherlock Holmes fan you'll enjoy this.

    i hope there will be a sequel.

    Bazookas!

    One of my readers gave it a 5 Star rating and said it was the best dollar he had ever spent. Another one said, "The story is seamless, flawless... Your writing is magnificent." The Steampunk Detective is a young adult novel, but anyone can enjoy it. If you like stories in the vein of Holmes and Watson and you like sci-fi with a Victorian twist , then I'm sure you'll enjoy The Steampunk Detective. Oh, and I love hearing from my readers so please drop me a line after you finish the book. Thanks for reading and have a bazookering good day!

    Worthwhile Read

    Some reviewers said this was a young adult book. But, as a Senior Citizen I really enjoyed the inter play between the older detective and the younger trainee

    I wasn't sure when I first started reading this wether I would like it, I love Sherlock Holmes and like reading steampunk but had reservations about a combination of the two. Boy was I wrong. I liked it from the word go and couldn't put it down the more I read. Lots of lovely Holmes references and the steampunk world it is set in is colourful and vibrant. Can recommend it to any that like either genre. Thoroughly enjoyable read, am looking forward to more in the series (fingers crossed).

    This is a wonderful book, filled throughout with Sherlock Holmes

    This is a wonderful book, filled throughout with Sherlock Holmes' references, which only made it all the more fun. This is book the worlds greatest detective is a man named Mr. Doyle who is about in his sixties. He lost his son in a war and his son's family blames him for it. He hires an orphan to help him with his cases, 16-year-old Jack. Together the two embark on a fast pasted mystery that lands them into all kinds of trouble and allows them to met many new characters.
    They travel from London, to Germany, to the Swiss alps, and to France. The descriptions are amazing and the inventions are fun. Steam trucks that can go on both land and water, ships that can fly into space, and towers that reach into the skies and past.
    Also, I loved the characters. Mr. Doyle isn't exactly a Sherlock, not a young one. He acts more as his older self would have, more opened with his feelings and not ashamed to show affection toward his friends.
    And Jack pulls off a younger Watson well, saving Mr. Doyle's life, being a little slow with clues. But the best part is how they are always picking on each other. Mr. Doyle making it a point to embarrass Jack in front of the girl he likes.
    A wonderful, fast paced read. Highly recommended

    I knew within the first few paragraphs I would have to finish the whole book. It was without question the kind of read that would appeal to many ages and types of readers. Something a Grandparent could read to a Grandchild or as in this case, the Grandparent simply reads because it's fun. I seriously hope this fantastic author lets us in on more of Jack and Mr. Doyle's adventures. What a disappointment for the fun to end here. Let's ask for more! Morgan Smith
