2.0 out of 5 stars Not as promising as I imagined
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
I read this book on holiday 2012. Perhaps this put the book at an instant disadvantage as I was in Japan & Australia & my surroundings kept me occupied. Even during spells in the airport I wasn't compelled to pick this book up as I normally would do. It basically just wasn't interesting enough.
The book felt overly long & the subject matter became repetitive rather than enthralling. I do love reading about the Victorian era & their flights of fancy but this really just left me feeling cold.
