Janet V. (Perplexia) reviewed on 9/7/2008 + 17 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

A Dickensian tale of the clumsy gropings of the early pyschologist/anatomists in the Georgian age that gives a wonderful sense of the era with pungent description and stinging social analysis. A study of class discrimination and the true nature of "monsters." If you are a fan of Caleb Carr, you should love this book!
