This was an interesting one. On one hand, it's actually very well written and plotted. It moves along at a screaming pace and has a very confident voice. On the other hand, it's written by a dude who very much believes that everything he doesn't like is communism and satanism and the class system of the British Empire good and just, and also that women should know their place.

So, you know, a mixed bag. But it's a decent book, all the same. Just very heavily a product of its time and place.
