Book Review of The Somnambulist

The Somnambulist
reviewed on + 61 more book reviews


Not what I expected from the jacket synopsis. This has elements of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Who, steampunk Jules Verne, and more. The Somnambulist , himself, is a mystery that is never solved. The plot revolves around an idea of utopia first made famous by Coleridge (yes, the "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" guy). Only here it is a revolution of the classes in Victorian London.
