A highly underrated book - and it's easy to see why. I initially started this book, but quickly put it down as an overly simplistic story written in the stilted language of a Victorian novel. Several friends recommended it, however, so I picked it up and gave it a second try.

The dialogue between the characters is longwinded and painfully repetitive and serves no purpose but to inform the reader of the circumstances. How many times two characters stated things to each...

(I borrowed some comments from Jerry Kindall, who wrote what I was thinking first.) “The author has seen fit to provide his own book with a five-star review, and I'm sure he feels he did an excellent job. I beg to differ. Although the background is intriguing, it seemed to me like all these characters...
