A review by jmclincoln
The Ways of the World by Robert Goddard

3.0

An intriguing story told tediously. Author does a lot of unnecessary padding with street names crossing other street names or the colors of the fabric flecks in the tweed, e.g. By doing so, he managed to turn an approximate 50 chapter book into 75! And then, darn it all, he ended with such a come hither luring ending that I now have to put myself through the tedium of the next book in the series. Thank heavens for audiobooks; I can let the superfluous padding flow over me. But, if you have a low tolerance for wordiness, beware!
