My Thoughts: I am completely and totally in love with A Discovery of Witches. It's not perfect. It's not totally unique. But, it is engrossing and exciting and can make you forget any problems you might of had with it. This was a novel that a friend put me on to. She raved about it and spent a lot of spare moments squeezing in as much time as possible to read. As I saw it on the news a few times when it was released, I immediately dismissed it as being too mainstream for myself, just another Stephen King or Anne Rice who always miss the mark for me. Oh to bathe in the glorious stream of assumption. This novel is huge and I knocked it over in a matter of days. To get away from the raving a bit, there were two things I didn't like. First was the lack of connection with Diana in the beginning. She seemed a little confused, a little in love and a little inquisitive but not a whole lot of anything. So when she finally stood up for herself and let her feelings out, I breathed a sigh of relief. Now, the other thing, which honestly didn't annoy me until near the end, was Matthew's need to keep everything to himself. The guy has trust issues, and while being head-over-heels in love, he still never gave his all. His complex and mysterious nature pegs him as a sure favourite with fans though. Deborah must of put a lot of research into this as the twisted web she laid before us became more twisted as more answers were revealed. It has a sense of being a true story even though it's blatantly fantasy. A perfect mixture between the world we know and a secret one that could be there but we'd never know unless we looked hard enough. As for the end, it finished in a good place and couldn't of gone on longer without being another 600 pages. I loved the little twist which took me a few reads to get my head around and made it all the more lovable for it. Final Opinion: I'm not one to love reading humongous books as I find I get bored and want to switch it up a bit. Not the case here. After the first couple hundred pages, I realised that I didn't want it to end and even when it did I would not be satisfied with it's length. I'm not ashamed to say it's the Twilight for the adult reader (though hopefully they won't destroy it on film the same way). It's also got a little of The Da Vinci Code mixed in. Please don't write it off though if you didn't like both of those, as while it has has some bad reviews, it's the sort of book you'll either love or hate. And if you do love it, you'll be thanking yourself for years to come. First Lines: The leather-bound volume was nothing remarkable. To an ordinary historian, it would have looked no different from hundreds of other manuscripts in Oxford's Bodleian Library, ancient and worn. But I knew there was something odd about it from the moment I collected it. Favourite Quote: "How could you not have been loved before, when I love you so much?"
