grubstlodger's review against another edition
5.0
I said about Jack Holborn that his style needed to be married to a decent story - this was it.
The characters were interesting, the quack loveable, Hatch hate-worthy, Black Jack and Belle were mysterious, inscrutable and interesting and Tolly less bland than Jack Holborn.
Also, parts were wonderfully schlocky. The tyburn beginning, the escape from the madhouse, the earthquake stuff. I had a brilliant time with this book.

This has to be the most undervalued classic novel of all time. It is a triumphant masterpiece. I believe that it is a novel that everyone should read and experience at least once in their lives.
