Title: Suggestions for Readers
Review: This book is seriously overrated. It is way too long and the writing style is incredibly contrived and annoying for the reader.What the book is hailed for is its thorough description of the era. I agree that is well done but one does not need 800 pages to do that. I do not mind long books (in fact love them) if there is something (anything!) to hold my interest.Suggestions: 1) a book about a similar subject and time and much more interesting: Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue.2) a book with the same contrived writing style on the same subject and era, try The Dress Lodger by Sheri Holman.
