    The book is meant to be really clever and thought-provoking. 19th Century goldrush greed and the way she maps stuff out with the star-gazing charts and all that is meant to be pretty unique.

    Whether I read it or not depends entirely on whether the missus buys a paper copy or a kindle version.
