The Diamond Lens
Ratings2
Average rating2.3
This is a short story written in 1858 about a mad scientist that is obssessed with the micro world he discovers in his microscope
The story is narrated in the 1st person and tells the story of a man who is driven to obsession with what her discovers to the point of crimes of passion in his pursuit of learning.
I found this story to have a focus on the encentricities of a mad scientist and obsession. HIs reclusiveness and how he manages to entrap his self in the world he discovered whether in his own mind or a reality of the world of the story we shall let the reader determine
not much else I can say without spoiling the story but overall I found it to be good read and I found myself really wanting to follow the story and see where his obsession takes him.
The biggest drawback being that as a short story it has so much potential to evolve into a longer book of novel lenght, overall 3.5/5 stars for me
