The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

46Watch it awake.

Read them for the puzzle, and don't bring Holmes home as a model friend.

The review

Clients come, and a doctor writes the cases down. That is the 1892 book: a consulting detective, a puzzle, a solution. The pleasure is the answer, which is why Holmes became a habit. It is also why I don't offer him to my kid as a friend worth copying.

The cocaine sits in the earlier book. I won't haul it in to sound strict. These stories are the cases. One after supper is enough. The mind that finishes the puzzle is not a way to live with the people in your house.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

The eight

7
Industry
A consulting detective and a doctor work the cases clients bring.
3
Household
Holmes is a mind, not a model of a friend or a household.
3
Piety
The cases chase a solution; conscience is not what stops anyone.
4
Courage
They take the client's puzzle; the pleasure sold is the answer.
5
Republic
The debt in these stories runs to a client, not to a town.
4
Temperance
Each solved case is built so you want the next one after it.
8
Truth
The pleasure is the solution, so a lie in the case has to break.
3
Stewardship
A solved case is what remains; no household is repaired by it.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

44Leave it.

The cathedral's still standing, and the archdeacon's want is what actually ruins her.

Take controlThis scores 44. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

The cathedral is the thing that lasts. Quasimodo rings the bells, the city calls him a monster, and Esmeralda is desired and then condemned. I kept waiting for the building to make the men inside it better. It doesn't. The archdeacon's want runs the ruin, and Hugo is not shy about a churchman being the engine.

A teen can read it if you stay for the talk after. Don't describe the punishment, and don't let the bells turn into a romance. The stone outlasts the people who used it. That's the part I'd actually say at dinner: a beautiful public place can watch a woman be condemned and still be standing when the men are gone.

Heidi

64 instead of 44

Heidi is still a novel film, and it scores 64 instead of 44. What you gain is household: A girl left with her grandfather thaws him, and that bond is the life.
