The Prestige, Christopher Priest

How on earth did they make a movie of that?

I like olde timey magicians, and I like Tesla, so I was certainly going to like this book. I am a little slow, so I was on page 256 (out of 360) before I figured out the Big Secret. It's incredibly compelling, and I love the style it was written in -- I read the whole thing in about 24 hours -- but I would have liked the female characters to be more characters and less plot points or mistresses. 

Grade: B
