Dunno about the sequels,

But as an avid Bronte-lover and Madame's-Taste-appreciater, I'd love to borrow it when you're through.
I mean, really, "The Eyre Affair"?!?
Not to mention "Steampunkish version of 1980's".
Lady, you sure know how to write a critique.

Naturally, I'll let you borrow it

On one condition - that you'll write your own review after reading it (I'm curious to know what you'll think about it)

p.s.

I didn't know you were an avid bronte lover. Darling, we have much to discuss...

Read it. Liked it. Mostly agree with you.

The book has so many excellent ideas in it, is funny and everything, but I couldn't help feeling that "something was missing" - or, more precisely, "something was missed". I couldn't quite say what that something was, but I think that "soul" is as good a word as any.

By the way, I read it in Hebrew, and surprisingly, it was translated very well, as far as I can tell.

And yes, I highly recommend everyone to read this book, because first of all, it's fun.
