A review by lisalark
In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker

5.0

I actually really loved this. At first it felt too similar in some ways to other authors, like Connie Willis, but then it took on its on life. Baker is hilarious and writes very human characters. I loved the historical details throughout and languages (Latin, Greek, Spanish, German) and just general cleverness. It was really fun to see Tudor history unfurling in the background.

The main character tells you from the beginning that it's not going to be a happy story, so I didn't mind that. Plus I have a pretty jaundiced view of romance.

Good for history buffs, humor fans, and sci fi readers. Specifically I think Connie Willis and Douglas Adams fans.
