hmmm, it's well written and all that, and it does have some fascinating
moments. I'm only about 1/3 through it right now and I keep expecting
something more interesting. I think part of the problem is that the story
takes place in early 19th century england and so I am reminded of Oscar Wilde
and Jane Austen and all those other writers and period pieces I can't stand.
There's so much drawing room etiquette and ladies being proper that I fear I
shall be driven quite mad...SEE!!!

It's actually not bad, just not as riveting as I had hoped it would be, but
since it is the only unread book I own, i will stick with it.
