An author recommendation...
I loved The Prestige so much I went right out and bought another Christopher Priest book, The Separation. I've just finished reading it and can honestly say it's equally as good. This one is sort of an AU WWII novel, all hinging on the idea that Britain and Germany made peace with each other in 1941. But there are so many different strands of stories, different realities, twists and turns that it's hard to keep track of where you are or what's happening. It's the kind of book that, when you finish, you need to sit and think just to figure out what the hell just happened.
So yes, people, if any of you like historical science-fiction novels that really make you think, you'll like Christopher Priest. Plus, you have to read The Prestige before you see the movie, and you have to see the movie because it's got Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale in it - so you don't really have much choice in this. Go. Read.
