reviewed Notorious Dr. August: His Real Life and Crimes on November 01, 2010 Notorious Dr. August: His Real Life and Crimes
The author of this book was unknown to me at the time of reading it. Now, I OFTEN seek him out. This book will certainly become a motion picture someday (I hope).
If they made his other book (Father of Frankenstein) into the movie, Gods & Monsters...then, this will be up for film rights at some point. It's an astonishing epic that mixes music into a novel which flows like non-fiction. It's so well written. You get caught up in the characters of Dr. August (Fitz), Isaac, Alice, Fanny/Lady Ashe and more.
What was amazing is that it takes you back in time to a time when something like this could NEVER have been written about. What a love triangle...I loved experiencing the end of the Civil War, the early 1900's in New York, a cruise ship, London, and Constantinople.
If you want an ESCAPE...this book is your best bet! I SIMPLY LOVED IT. There were plenty of significant lines that you'll take with you too...There are just too many favorite lines for me to list here...but the story is quite unique. It's an A+.
