I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It made me very curious about the real lives of both Charles Dickens and the Salieri-like narrator, Wilkie Collins. I think that Simmons did an excellent job in constructing his tale. I just loved the relationship between Dickens and Wilkie. And Wilkie made for a great narrator! The book's only weakness was its resolution, though I can see where some would be daunted by its length. All in all, an entertaining and exciting book!
