Soulless

This book was such a joy to read, I constantly had big happy smile on my face, laughing out loud many a time. It is delightfully fabulous and so much fun!

As mentioned in my review of The Curious Case of the Werewolf That Wasn't, the Mummy That Was, and the Cat in the Jar, if found Miss Carriger's writing style so charming and witty that I fell in love with it right away. In Soulless she has created a multitude of wonderful characters, all of them interesting in their own regard, with the voice of the main character being especially noteworthy in it's delightfulness. In addition to that, the author's narrative timing is superb, knowing exactly when to elaborate and when to quickly move forward. The book has an enchanting quality to it and If I had not been forced to read it in multiple sessions - by busy days and lack of reading time - I would not have put it down before finishing it in one go. Alas, nature made it so that one has to sleep at some point, no matter how much one might protest.

I am ever so grateful to my wonderful wife for the recommendation. This book has brought me happiness in abundance, and for that I feel I simply cannot praise it enough.
