[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sala has a wonderfully entertaining writing style, and the book's format (a tour of a different part of 19thc London at each hour of the day and night) is fascinating. I don't know why more people haven't heard of/read this book.

Salsa does like to show off his flowery language and his extensive vocabulary but he does give a fantastic detailed insight into the day to day life of Victorians.
