I'm a fan of Westworld and the concept behind Pastworld (the city of London has been recreated as a Victorian era theme park that tourists can visit is being plagued by a Jack the Ripper-esque killer) sounded really enticing. Unfortunately I preferred the concept to the execution. I gave the book 60 pages before I gave it up - it's quite dull and I wasn't interested in any of the characters. Plus, the writing style is going for formal Victorian but it comes across as very stilted, unatmospheric, unwieldy, and even sloppily put together.
