Sarah Anne sarahannewhite — This one is an easy seamless read with lots of historical info.

Sumbo Lawal sumbolawal36ec2b — The narrator is, frankly, annoying, and the plot isn't as captivating as you would think, but Pearl does a good job stylistically recreating the feel of 19th century mysteries, warts and all. The conclusion plays out in a kind of soliloquy that is uncannily redolent of Poe's Dupin. With that in mind, it's probably not a book for people who don't have a fair knowledge of Poe, because it relies so heavily on the reader appreciating the references. I would suggest that all readers start with the author's historical note at the end of the book before reading the novel; I don't think it has any spoilers. I read the book first, and really appreciated the level of research that Pearl put into it, but it wasn't until I read the note that I realized how much of it was original, primary research that truly uncovered new details on Poe's last days and death, and I think I would have been more captivated had I known.

Trent Daniel tbdaniel — Jess finds a freind he'll never forget. She's kind and smart and funny. She makes him feel alive. They creat a magical world called Terabithia. They are the Queen and King in the world. That is until one thing will change his life forever.

Laura Kuhn midnightboheme — This book started with a crime, always something I like. Then it became all about boys. Yuck! I love books about love, but I hate books about boys.

Lars Kopp digitalpainted — TRITE! Can you imagine One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest meeting Mills and Boon? Well, it happened in this book. This terrible, mawkish sentimental story is set in an insane asylum where the nurse falls in love with the patient, who, if he wasn't insane, you would have to conclude is the most extravagant bullshitter on the face of the earth. I blame the author. It is basically cheating to put a large part of the story into the mouth of a character who is insane because then you can abdicate all responsibility for the fact that it doesn't make any sense. It is further cheating to abandon any notion of 'point of view' so that the character telling the story - about himself - is also telling you things that he could not possibly know - like what other characters are thinking. Furthermore, it is ridiculous to suggest that a SPANISH doctor could not work out (from his accent alone) that his patient is CANADIAN. It is ridiculous to suggest that a female nurse would be swimming naked while her patient watched. It is ridiculous to suggest that a psychiatric nurse would be so baffled by all the patient's mumbo-jumbo that she begins to attribute some sort of magical powers to him. I mean, how did he manage to get Federica to make him a cup of coffee every day? Wow. Spooky. Please, I beg you, don't read this book if you know ANYTHING about psychiatry. Or literature. Or, for that matter, reality. Because you will probably hate this book as much as I did.
