A review by lilliangretsinger
The Confabulist by Steven Galloway

2.0

I got to page 140 in this book. Though the sections with Houdini were interesting, the parts about Martin not so much. I think the author was trying to do too much with this book. A story about Houdini would have been great - or a story about Martin...but intertwining them confused the issue.

I liked the description of how Houdini did his tricks, but not the indepth detail about the lock mechanisms etc.

Just not for me.
