![]() ![]() You don't know why but you must.if you like that sort of thing. But, I am the same person who caught "Great Expectations" on late night TV one night and watched the entire thing from 2-5 am. I read it in one sitting (though I had to sleep at the end and finished the last 30 pages the next day.) - it was engaging. The book was really well written (in my opnion) I was often impressed with how something was said, described, or the witty (NOT FUNNY) cleverness of the prose. The book mentions it alot but of course in the context of (mostly) fiction. I would recommend looking up this painting: Beata Beatrice before reading the book. Nicks, theives, and beggars meet the elite art world. So this book: I read the reviews on goodreads and they're correct. (The Ministers Daughter - which I will definitely be reading) ******SIGH. ![]() After re-reading the back I realized that the BACK was PRAISE for A DIFFERENT BOOK. ![]() After about 270 of 370 pages I read the back flap again, certain I had SOME MAGIC to look forward to. I am so dumb! So I'm reading and reading and mark my words it's an enjoyable read BUT where was the magic? Where was the supernatural? Where were my goosebumps? Where? In another book. Mysterious, supernatural/magic, nineteeth century England. I've grown tired of the book I've been trying AND TRYING to read: Bitten - and I left the new Mortal Instruments book somewhere so I'm going to try this! The cover summary reminds me of the Gemma Doyle trilogy. ![]()
