Claire
This classic is worth reading. This story of a marriage also tells about the anarchist movement in London. When finally a terrorist attack is made on the Greenwich Observatory, the tale gets in a faster pace to recount all the consequences of this account.

The book is excellently written and has a special attention to the description of the characters and their psychology. At the same time the book is very slow especially at the beginning. I’d give it just below 4 stars
Francesca
I enjoyed the part related to the relationship between the Verlocs but I was unable to follow the political part.

I used to think I’ve had a low opinion of humanity. Then, I read this book.

Now, I know that I was barely an entry-level misanthrope
