The plot line is really interesting, but the dialogue is often stitled and unrealistc. Despite this, it's still an enjoyable read.

Reasonably ok, but the villian might have well had a sign around his neck that said villian. I found the protagonists to have an interesting relationship to each other, but they were so naive it was funny. One could also see the big wind up coming a mile away. It's like whenever a cat is introduced, you can bet it will meet a bad end, same with any kids presented. Oy vey.

The bits about Newton and his cronies and enemies were interesting. It's obvious that the author is quite familiar with Newton's life and the information was presented almost conversationally rather than scholarly. The afterward was also quite helpful in clarifying things that were a bit hazy because I don't know that much about Newton's work or life. ( )
