The writing is unique only to Roland Yeomans. He has a distinct style that you can even experience on his blog. His imaginings of Mark Twain and other historical figures is interesting.

Each chapter of this work is actually a short story. My favorite is Chapter Three "Edison's Mansion" where everyone Edison hated are at a party for ghostly revenge. It was an exciting story. I enjoyed waiting to find out each character's fate.

I was a bit confused which character was saying what because some characters had similar names or multiple reference names, and it wasn't always clear (Captain Sam, Sam McCord, Captain McCord, Sammy, Sammy Clemens). Also, the story lines were a little confusing.
