review 1: Blar. I'm tired of protagonists being all rapey in the guise of being "edgy." If I'm going to read about an amoral, detached investigator of human nature, I don't care to waste my time with this self-important, did he mention he's pretty? because he knows he's soooo pretty, insufferable blowhard. When your exploration of the dark sides of humanity are pretty much all about this dude sees women as chattel whose value is determinable by their level of fuckability, even if that level is unexpectedly higher than this paragon of human observation first thought, well. You're not particularly cutting-edge or interesting.
review 2: Actual Rating = 3.5 starsFor those looking for action, this is not the book for you. This is neither a Thriller or Erotica. That being said
... more, I really enjoyed this book. I'm sure my infatuation with England in the 18th century has something to do with it. I felt transported back to London in the 1760's. Much of the book is correspondence between Richard Fenwick and his godfather. My only complaint is that sometimes these discussions would be a bit tedious. less

Did not finish, read up to page 150. Could not get into it, just became a chore.

I would give this a 3.75. Not quite a four star book, but I found it fascinating.

UGH. I usually love historical fiction. I enjoy erotica, but this book...UGH.
