Started out dark then got funny,
By
This review is from: Infernal devices: A mad Victorian fantasy (Hardcover)
This book had the potential to be one of my favorite books in the first 50 pages - but then it got to be more funny than scary. I still enjoyed it, but it just wasn't 'dark' enough. The use of slang from the future made it kind of ridiculous and the fact that the book is really just one continuous chase scene with a helpless hero is pretty absurd too.You'll need to stretch your imagination quite a bit on some of the ideas but all in all it was fun. Jeter is very creative and original, this is kind of a funny version of _The Anubis Gates_ and also similar to Gaiman's _Neverwhere_ and _The Physiognomy_ from Jeffrey Ford.

Victorian Romp!,
By
This review is from: Infernal devices: A mad Victorian fantasy (Hardcover)
An over-the-top mad Victorian romp that is both very funny and very imaginative. If you are expecting dark horror from Jeter, which is what he often delivers, not for you.
