As someone on the fringe of the Sherlock fandom (oh, who am I kidding, really), I was interested to see how this collection of essays would interpret the idea of transmedia fandom through the lens of the BBC series.

However, my initial thoughts after skimming this book were:

1) Someone needed to proof-read. There are misspellings of several names including producers and actors, though ironically enough, not the titular character.

2) I feel like I just read through an entire book of Tumblr rambles, but with footnotes and in-text citations. There's only so much serious reading about fanfic and crossovers and canon I can take before it starts to feel a like bit like someone just laminated fanrants with a veneer of academia.
