Starts off really well, really compelling and utterly filthy. However, halfway though the novelty of the 2nd person narrative and Victorian smut wares off and it becomes tiresome and tedious. I nearly DNF'd a couple of times but there is just enough to keep you going. Overall, it's just too long and a little bit too pleased with itself.
