    Wierd... but very good

    Infernal Devices is a strange fantasy about George Dower and how he comes to save the world from infernal devices. It takes place in nineteenth century London and is a very good book, though of certain taste. I do recommend it, though.

    Fantasical

    I don't normally write reviews, but when I do I prefer Infernal Devices. This book is not only genius in it's development and story, but in the amount of immersion this novel has. It's fantasical, sexual, and mechanical. Once you start you can't wait to see how it ends.
