[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 451559"] Sure seems better than The Yard as it does recognize and mention that people did smoke a lot back then. However, despite good efforts on the author's part to have us feel like we are in Whitechapel at the end of the 19th century, I gave up on the book as something felt off in my perception. I don't know what it is but I just couldn't get into it and gave up after 140 pages, or so. As the novel features Jack the Ripper's personal diary, maybe what bothers me is the Ripper's point of view on how he perceived and performed his "work", alongside with the sometimes rather gruesome details ? Which, really was, in the long run, becoming slightly disturbing and morbib in its descriptions. [/QUOTE]
