[books 2016] The Prestige

[inulro]

18. The Prestige by Christopher Priest

Last month's book club book.

It was OK, I guess. Neither trashy enough to be a good romp nor good enough to be really interesting. Plus it pissed me off so much at the beginning with the woo about twins having a special kind of connection that it's a miracle I stuck with it.

The trip to Colorado and the interactions with Tesla's assistant are the best part.

Huh. I did not actually know that The Prestige was a book before it was a movie. (Have you seen the movie?)

Yes. It's one of those rare instances where the film is better than the book. (I did not know there was a book until last month either).
