I must confess that I was absolutely fascinated by the prologue, after which it was a hard book to put down. I had become so attached to the lead character that I just wanted to read more. The storyline is of a twisted psychological thriller. The author writes about the journey of a tormented soul, a lonely heart that seeks companionship, a soul so delicate and sensitive and hurt that you yearn for him to win out. It is also a fine sample of a lonely soul living on the seedy streets of london. Coupled with humour and a passionate affair, it is a fantastic read, a curious key to the heart of a gothic writer.
