I finished this book at the beach and it was quite a fun read. It reminded me of the Jasper Fforde novels in kind of combining fiction and reality. The use of H.G. Wells as a character was amusing. I love books that start in one place and you think you know who the players are and then you have to wonder half way through if you haven't wondered into a different story. Anyway - it kept me guessing and made me smile so I consider that a good book.
