Sounds interesting - would ilke to read it soon

As someone who cares a great deal about literature and was quite eager to dive into the life of the ultimate bad boy Lord Byron I was horribly disappointed. This is possibly a good book, but in no way is this a book for anyone who is remotely interested in BYron.

This is one of those brilliant books you read sentence-by-sentence, in awe. A marvel. ( )

Haven't made to the end of this book. A Byron wannabee, passing himself off as the author of the tale Byron wrote the night of tale telling that led to Frankenstein. This character is the doctor. Just can't care enough to finish (and this is a short book). Pretentious is probably the reason.

Read Imposture by Benjamin Markovits today, which stars Polidori, the young doctor who worked for Byron for a time, and who wrote a novel called The Vampyre at the same time as Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein.
The book is a layered thing, dealing with sleight of hand and deception on a number of levels, and it was an engaging enough read. ( )
