Quick Impressions I enjoyed The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton but had a hard time feeling anything for the characters. Both Archer’s and Ellen Olenska’s disappointments where their undoing. The pair had no one to blame but themselves. Although both did the honorable thing in the end. To be honest, I only was concerned […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Why I Read It After watching Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast I was inspired to read Jeanne Marie Le Prince de Beaumont’s fairy tale of which it was based on. Impressions While Reading Beaty and the Beast is a lovely fairy tale and while it has the storyline we all know and love is […]
Review In Charlaine Harris’ first Sookie Stackhouse novel I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between Twilight and Dead Until Dark. In Dead Until Dark, Sookie has a “disability” she can read people’s minds making her somewhat of an oddity. This gift excludes the “undead” better known as vampires. This also happens to include her […]
