Long enough to complete a project
The story was less than gripping and left a lot unanswered in my estimation. I would have liked things tied up a bit better for the length of it. It did give me many hours of listening as I worked my way yhrough a few different projects and that is defunately worth 4 stars because I kept coming back.

Disappointing ending
After listening to such a long story, which I appreciated, the ending was abrupt and inconclusive.

Something Different
read beautifully by Jill Tanner.
This is a very interesting but not for the person who has a problem with explicit sexual scenes .
London in 1876 is a sad world of class ridden excess. This is well written and pulls no punches.
I was initially a bit shocked but the story pulls you in. I felt the ending was too abrupt though.

Not quite what I expected
This book was not quite what I expected. At times the crudeness turned me away but the story kept me coming back. I don’t feel the need for much of the course language in this book would’ve given five stars without most of it.
The storyline was rather intriguing though and the method of speaking to the reader was interesting.

One of my most favourite books ever
Wow, there’s nothing I can say against this book. So we’ll written and the narration was utterly fantastic. I didn’t want it to end. I highly recommend this book

a very long book for a mediocre story.
this book was extremely long for a story that had very few highs. the narrator was great. if it hadn't been for her, I probably would have given the book 2 stars.

Half of a good story .
The last forty percent of this book has the makings of a very good historical novel.
However, the first half plus the narrator, sadly turn it into a romance novel.
