by K W Jeter

When George's father died he left George his watchmaker's shop – ­and more.

The classic steampunk tale from the master of the genre.

This book is written in the format of a journal, with the main character telling us his observations and opinions. It starts in the present time and then switches back however long ago in order to tell us the story of how things ended up the way they did.
So far, its pretty interesting, though I haven't made my way to the meat of the plot yet.
