review 1: Bad historical fiction has people saying things like "Oh Mr Darwin, how's that crazy book of yours coming along" - and there is a scene in this book where pretty much exactly this happens. The Author might have done quite a bit of research but if it isn't part of the story he should probably leave it in his notes. I don't on the whole mind this kind of thing - get a bunch of historical characters like Brunel and Florence Nightingale and stick them in a fictional murder story - these days it's practically become a genre of detective fiction; but this one isn't very well written...
review 2: The storyline sounded interesting, and i was expecting something in the line of Sherlock Holmes or Jack the Ripper.There are very well written sections, which go into tremen... moredous detail of the development/discovery of machinery.But, if it isn't something you are that interested in, it just bores you to tears.This book is well written and researched, but (i think) with a very specific audience in mind. less
