A story about "True History of the Kelly Gang: A Novel" — 4 years ago
At times a bit of a chore to read, but ultimately rewarding.
A story about "Watership Down" — 4 years ago
The book that scarred me for life, and turned me into a vegetarian animal-rights nut. An epic morality tale – chilling, beautiful, tragic – and above all, still relevant.
A story about "The Jane Austen Book Club: A Novel" — 4 years ago
As an Austen fan, i wanted to love this novel. But whereas Austen had substance behind her words, this book does not. It is a light, enjoyable read – and can be easily finished in a couple of hours – but it is easily forgettable once you put it down. I also left the book feeling that it was a cunningly written marketing tool – knowing that it would appeal to the literati and be snapped up by book clubs around the globe.
A story about "Bag of Bones" — 4 years ago
Sadly enough, what starts off as a compelling haunted house story drowns (no pun intended) in a major mish-mash of silliness by the end. This could have been of the better later novels of King, and if not for the last hundred pages among his best.
