Negative Positive
Title: Too much anti-victorian philosophy, not enough story.
Review: This novel is a philosophy book about the author's narcissistic anti-Victorian views and clever witticisms. Oh yeah, somewhere in there is a story about a man who makes a wish that his portrait would show his physical age and experiences, while he remains forever young and handsome. The wish comes true.There was incredible potential for this story that wasn't lived up too. I think this novel really needed a heavy-handed editor to make it great.
