I recently read this book.It's good. To put it bluntly, its a mix of Crime and Punishment, Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with a bit of Dickens thrown in for good measure. It features a lot of mysticism and info on the Kabbala which is pretty interesting once you realise it has nothing to do with Maddona and the many lactose intolerant types that make up California. It depicts Prague as a pretty grim place teeming with consumptives, murders, evil salesman and con artists. If sounds up your street then you should read it too
