c_l_spillard 's review for:
The Difference Engine
by Bruce Sterling, William Gibson
I thought I'd love this tale - it looked like having everything: Ada Lovelace, a strange alternate history, a message about Surveillance, and it is of course the pioneer of Steampunk...
But I didn't. Some of it seemed over-complicated and superfluous. Not the descriptions & imagery - they are exquisite; but some of the machinations of the characters, particularly in the mid-section. If you're a fast reader and like a lot of intrigue for intrigue's sake (and brothel scenes) you might like it more than I did.
