Review
This book took me forever to get through, and I'm questioning how much I really enjoy Steampunk.  The last several books I've read in the genre seem to have left me disappointed, and The Affinity Bridge is no different.  I was very bored throughout this book and had troubles keeping my attention in the pages.  I found the writing to be dry and lack-luster, but there is a part of me that realizes that this could be so much better.

I read this on a Nook, but recently purchased a physical copy of it.  I'm going to try rereading it at a later date and see if my opinion changes.  I don't know why I'm investing this much into liking a book, but I feel like I need to give Mann a second chance.
