A review by megstro
The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber

3.0

This book exhausted me to the point of tedium--and not necessarily because it was 900 pages long, but because it was so full of minute detail and so many characters that I didn't care enough by half. The ending, while a little unfulfilling, made up for the tedium. Mostly. I caution you not to look at this as a serious statement on Victorian society and more as a comedy of errors of stupendous proportions.
