The Great and Secret Show: The First Book of the Art

The Great and Secret Show starts out with sinister promise but becomes a drawn-out, dull affair. Barker is original in some of his ideas, but his style is not enjoyable and the story itself held little interest for me. I will admit that I didn't finish the book, but life is finite and I don't have time to read everything that I come across. This book didn't make the cut for me.
