I'm a little late to the party, but I'll concur that The Crimson Petal and the White is a darn good read. If, like me, you were jaded by Quicksilver or underwhelmed by The Wolves of the Calla, and if, like me, you're obsessed with reading longass novels, then you may want to give it a shot. A sizable chunk was serialized in The Guardian, so beta testers are advised to bolt there. Hostlers are waiting.
