elanna76 's review for:
The Prestige
by Christopher Priest
There is an unfortunate vogue demanding that novels of Victorian atmosphere be written in a half-assed pseudo-Victorian invented English. Usually, they miserably fail to convey anything else than the writer's shortcomings in this respect.
Well, this novel is an example of this empirical rule. I don't even know if the plot and characters would have been better than the style; so ludicrous was the writing, that I gave in after few pages and I will probably never find out.
