Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Review I finished Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte last night and find it very appropriate that it was during a tornado watch as that describes this novel very well.   A tornado of disastrous events circles this novel, involving, gambling and alcoholism, violence, death and an overall conniving plot.  None of the characters had any redeeming […]

This Saturday consists of mostly eating (because […]

Gone with the Wind

Gone with the Wind

Review The title or “catch phrase” really says it all, “A Civilization Gone with the Wind”.  Or, Scarlett O’Hara is the epitome of a young southern girl, pretty, vivacious and naive to the world around her.  All that changes when the civil war begins throwing away all that she once held dear. Katie Scarlett O’Hara, […]

Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Quick Impressions Alice’s  In Wonderland  by Lewis Carroll is a very fun, quick read that is not just for children.  The obscureness of Wonderland makes it all the more enjoyable, and sometimes wonder if Lewis Carroll added something magic to his tea while writing this story for a little girl.

No Angel by Penny Vincenzi

No Angel by Penny Vincenzi

Impressions While Reading No Angel by Penny Vincenzi is a a page turner and what I felt to be an accurate account of that time of history.  Penny Vincenzi references the woman’s suffrage movement,  medicine, social affairs and the after effects of war.  There are very few cliff-hanger at the end of No Angel as most […]

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

First Impressions I actually read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold several years ago.  At first, I was very hesitant because of the subject matter.  Do I really want to read about a 14-year-old getting raped and murdered?  I was only a few years older than Susie  at the time.  I ended  up loving it.  […]

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

Impressions While Reading I had mixed feelings throughout New Moon by Stephenie Meyer.  I have come to the conclusion, that I am a Jacob fan.  Jacob as Bella’s new love interested me more than the chilling cold but vampire with a heart of gold.  While both boys care and despite her klutziness would never let […]

Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay

First Impressions Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay was incredibly sad and no matter how fictional tears your heart. Impressions While Reading First, I thought Tatiana de Rosnay did a good job describing the backdrop of that time in history. She excelled in getting the point across of these horrid times. Through Julia, we get […]

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Review What to say about Twilight?  I read this a few years ago because of all the hype it was receiving.  I wanted to see what it was all about.  I must have gotten caught up in the book’s popularity and entertaining storyline to realize how poorly it is written.  Twilight had a tendency to […]

The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczk

First Impressions I went into The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczk knowing the identity of That damned elusive Pimpernel.  While it was no surprise I was still kept on the edge of my seat.  Impressions While Reading Baroness Orczk’s novel is at once a tale of espionage,suspense, action and even a little romance.  At first […]
