Title: Waste of Time
Review: This book perhaps was inspired by Lytton's séances with Daniel Dunglas Home. A character Zee is mentioned. "Z" was reportedly a spirit who influenced Lytton to write Zanoni. It is a very short book. It took me about an hour to read. I can see how it might have been interesting 140 years ago, but I think it can only be recommended to hardcore fans of early fantasy/science fiction. Lytton has a sprawling style of writing with paragraphs that sometimes drag on for a whole page. The one thing that I found slightly interesting was that with the concept of the "vril bath" he appeared to anticipate Wilhelm Reich's orgone box.
Is the review positive or negative?
