"This is a real delight. Among its leading characters is a man who, along with his dog, accidentally enters a chrono-synclastic infundibulum and gets stretched out across space and time. The inhabitants of Tralfamadore meanwhile distort the whole of human history to bring home one of their own. (The Great Wall of China and the Kremlin are messages from Tralfamadore. Draw your own conclusions.)"

I'd been interested in this for a while but steampunk isn't really one of my favourite genre's--unless it's by Lindsay Buroker and they have romance in them.

I liked this but it's not my usual read. I guess I could be tempted to read more of the series at some point but I think I'd have to be in the right mood/head space for it.
