Now this was a cool book. A funny page turning piece of entertainment. The story started off great. With an introduction to Saffron Gardens. A beatiful part of town where the eccentricts lived. Such as the biologist who invested everything into looking the part. He may not have discovered any rare and exquisit creature but was there in the world that was more a rare and exquisit create than himself. And the poets who may not have written any great poetry but there was no greater subject for a poem than the men themselves. The plot starts off by really throwing you into it. A secret anarchic society run with the upmost order and precision. And a new memeber is to be raised to the council for the position of tuesday. Syme says as he and Gregory introduce themselves to the meeting that he is a representative of Sunday. And by the end of the meeting that turns out to be the case. He gets himself voted in.

I’m not sure what Sunday is. That is kindof the entire point of the book. “you will fully understand the beauty of the sunset and completey descirbe the stars in the sky before you truly know anything about me”. He is clearly something special. One by one the members of the council are discovered to be members of the sceret police corp tasked with penatrating the anarchist circle. The twist? it was sunday who recruited them.

I loved the chase scene with professor de worms. An old decrepid man from whom you could never escape.
