I hesitated to read this novel because I thought it was another slave narrative, and they tend to blur together in my mind as they are (usually) too much alike. And that's how this novel begins. But fairly quickly it takes an interesting turn when the young slave is loaned to an English eccentric scientist. Let the adventures begin! Then, for most of the rest of the book, I was fully engaged. Until the end, when it all fell apart.
