More About Mr. Meeson's Will
This is probably the most fun and interesting book I've read all year. If you love Victorian literature with a bit of wit and some fun legal quandaries, you'll enjoy this one. A brilliantly wicked lampoon upon the veniality of publishers that remains hilarious and true, even today. Nothing has changed in 126 years... This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Thinly plotted and not particularly suspenseful. Seems designed solely to achieve the set piece of the tattooed will being shown in court and discuss the enforceability of the "document."
