"I have to say, this was a hard book to get through. But once I got through the heart wrenching part, it flew by. <br/><br/>This is about an inventor set sometime in the 1700s, I believe. I though that it was a unique way to have a character. That simple fact twisted the story into something mysterious and creative. I have to admit, though, that some scenes in the book reminded me of "Batman Begins." <br/><br/>It did drag on in the heart wrenching parts, which was difficult to finish. <br/><br/>The ending wasn't quite satisfactory, making me want a sequel. (It would work, too!!)"
