Product Information
Chosen by Jackie of Farmlane Books
The Prestige follows two Victorian magicians who are battling to out-perform each other. The pair get locked in an increasingly bitter rivalry that leads them to commit acts so dark and secretive that their actions go on to affect several generations of their families.
The Prestige is packed with Victorian atmosphere and has twists and turns equal to those in the masterpiece that is the Fingersmith.
I loved learning about the world of a stage magician - everything from how the magic tricks worked to their back stage life fascinated me.
It has been a long time since I last read a book so gripping that I walked around the house reading it; taking it to the kitchen as I couldn’t even bear to part with the story for the few minutes it takes to make a cup of coffee. I’m giving this book 5 stars, not because it is the best written book in the world (it isn’t), but because it is one of the most entertaining.
The Prestige has become one of my top 20 books of all time.
