The Steampunk Trilogy

The subgenre of steampunk is, i think, better represented by Perdido Street station by China Mieville than this complilation.

The first story was the strongest, although it seemed to go on for longer than necessary. I certainly smiled, if not laughed, but was not very much amused (weak pun, i know).

The second and third stories also went on a bit, but lacked the wit of the first, and the social comment was rather heavy-handed. I suppose i didn’t really understand the context of “Walt and Emily”, but nevertheless I was disappointed with the last two thirds of the book.

Read the first one, but the second two aren’t worth the bother. For really good steampunk, look elsewhere.
