Borrowed it from a friend at work (now have my own copy because the cover fell off his).
It was excellent to begin with, lost a little pace and fun towards the middle, got a bit better towards the end, but then finished a little too neatly for my tastes, leaving me with a vague sense of dissatisfaction.
What'd you think of it?

I know a lot of people really like this book, but to me it was really eh. Not really science fiction, more like historical fiction, and also British, and I've noticed I just really don't care for Britishnesh in my sf/f (books like To Say Nothing of the Dog, Soulless, The Eyre Affair are some examples that come to mind).
What made the book good to you?
The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers: have you read it?
