This book is more coherent than the movie. I've rated it somewhat low for a few reasons. The story had basically no ‘science' to make it qualify as science fiction. Long passages of the story are written in an overly descriptive, yawn-inducing style. However, if you have a strong interest in descriptions of New York City life during the last part of the 19th century, this book is for you.
