The Alienist is better but this is still an exceptional read.

I loved it, my sister hated it, calling it weird and depressing. I thought the characters extremely interesting and the language beautiful.

Couldn't get past the first chapter because the writing was forced, didn't ring true.

Good but takes itself too seriously. Not the lightest of reads.

Not very pratical.

nice idea but abrupt ending after I actually kindda cared about the characters. Obviously a "get it finished and get paid" book.

An easy read and a glimpse of how "the other half" lives, when that really means the other 2/3. It is less anthropology than writer dabbling in poverty but it does raise awareness, doesn't pretend to be actually experiencing the pains a person who has no choice experiences, and is interesting.

I enjoyed this history more than most but am fascinated with the OED. It isn't a quick read and seems to lose some of its initial steam but it was interesting. I would recommend it to any English geek I know.
