The Electrical Venus is about a girl called Mim, a boy called Alex and other members of a travelling performing troop. It is about fame and the lack of it, the treatment of women, race, love and knowledge. I enjoyed this book, however I found it was quite rushed and very predictable. Everything happened exactly as I expected it too!
The story is told from two different perspectives; Mims and Alex’s and then sometimes their is a narrative chapter. I did like this change of perspective, however I’m not sure what I thought to them using animals to speak to rather than an internal monologue!
Overall, I found the story quick and enjoyable, but in places rushed and very predictable! Sadly, I think it didn’t quite make a lasting impression!
