A Conspiracy of Paper by David Liss

4.0

I was a bit daunted by this book but only a bit, since it is set in London of the 1800's the language is a bit antiquated. But once you get into the whole plot of the book, and get used to his nuances and cadences it flows quite smoothly and the book is an unexpected joy. He is witty and parts of the book made me laugh out loud. Once you are invested in reading it (it only took me about 3 chapters to get involved) You will fall in love with his characters. Elias,and to some extent Sir Owen, as well as Mr.Benjamin Weaver and feisty Kate Cole are all great characters to get to know ...luckily he has a sequel and is working on yet another to be out in 2008 !!! If I could give quarter marks this book would have gotten 4.5 stars.
