Why I gave up consuming this — 51 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

This was a book that I should have liked, given its pedigree (Booker Prize finalist), its literary subject matter and its enthusiastic recommendations. But I just didn’t connect with it, so I gave up.

WORTH CONSUMING!

An interesting book about late 19th century English life as seen through the eyes of two men who seem very different but who also share some similarities. At times I felt the story lagged as the author focused on George and then a long section on Arthur, but when the two men meet and Arthur agrees to help George, the book regained my interest. I also liked learning about how Arthur created his fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes.
