geeknb's review against another edition

Stopped reading at p115.
It's taken me a year to get to this point and I just can't be bothered to read any further.
Let's be honest, it's not bad, it's just sooooo slow. And nobody's a likeable character.

supposedlyfun's review against another edition

56 pages in and characters are already not behaving in any way that makes sense. Consulting online reviews indicates this is just the way this book is.

A dark and decadent tour across Enlightenment Europe, taking in culture, class, love, desire, taboos, family and what makes a person "good."
