The Dark Lantern

I eventually just had to kinda skim through this novel after reading nearly two hundred pages.  It's a little over four hundred pages, and once I realized the characters were just mediocre and it seemed like the whole novel would be the same thing over and over, I decided to flip through it to find something that would seem different or interesting.  I found nothing.  I'm sure people who like novels set in the late 1800's would love this book, though, as it is rich with descriptions of the London setting.  I, however, can't even be bothered to wonder what gradiation of C I would give it, so I'm just going to give it a C.
