Reading progress update: I've read 372 out of 372 pages.

So, Richard Owen, the driving force behind the creation of one of my favourite places (the Natural History Museum in London), was one arrogant, self-aggrandising, jealous, plagiarising, credit-stealing, ... arsehole.
Good book, tho.
Full review to come later. Right now all I can do is swear at Owen.
I read this for BL-Opoly - "Paradise Pier" Sq. 28 - Read a book that is set during Victoria's reign or that is tagged steampunk on GR."
