And I've had to abandon it. I can't point to anything in particular about it that I don't like, I am just bored by it. Normally I'll read a book in preference to a lot of things. With this book I wouldn't, and when I did read it, I'd fall asleep.
Instead, I've read
Victoria by Daisy Goodwin. Written at the same time as the recent TV series scripts, it concentrates on Victoria rather than having the 'Upstairs Downstairs' feel of the TV series, and ends earlier.
A most enjoyable read.
Next up: Perhaps unwisely,
Eater by Gregory Benford. Another purchase from July 2008.
