This review was originally posted on my blog, Ramblings of a Daydreamer. You can find it, and many more reviews at the blog. I loved this book. Loved. I can understand why some people don’t like contemporary women’s fiction/romance/chick lit - it’s a lot of dialogue and self-reflection on the main character’s part, but I love that sort of thing. It’s like getting a look into someone’s life and thoughts and dreams and fears, and sometimes seeing yourself there and knowing you’re not alone. A Scottish Ferry Tale was unbelievably romantic, laugh-out-loud funny, heartbreaking, sexy, and so many other things. I’ve always had this secret fantasy (or not-so-secret to those who know me well) of going to Ireland or Scotland or England (I love boys with accents, what can I say) and falling in love. It just seems so spontaneous and romantic. In so many ways, I felt like this was my story come to life on the pages of a book. I completely fell in love with Ralph. He was sweet and sexy and romantic and thoughtful, and not afraid to show his emotions or tell Cassie what he was thinking or how he was feeling. It was a refreshing change from guys in books who feel like they have to be ‘manly’ and keep all their emotions hidden. The relationship between Ralph and Cassie had me sighing and swooning. The romance junkie in me approved 100%. Cassie was a great character, too - very relatable in her insecurities and self-doubts. Her inner dialogue was frank and often humourous, and I found myself relating to her very easily. There were fantastic secondary characters, too. Everyone just seemed so real, and I loved that. I wanted to know these people and be part of their world. This was hands-down the best self-published book I’ve read. It was well-written and well-edited, which isn’t always the case with self-published books (and I am in no way bashing self-pubbed authors, since I am one myself…I’m just stating a fact). As a writer and editor, it kills me a little on the inside each time I read a book that clearly hasn’t been edited, or that has been written with no thought to plot or character development. That’s part of the reason self-published authors still get looked down on by some people. I found it hard to believe this was a self-pubbed book because it was of a caliber I’m not accustomed to seeing (yet) in the indie world. Well done, Ms Volkers.

I'd not read this one since high school and for some reason thought it was a tragedy. It wasn’t one of my favorites so I’ve never seen an adaptation or read much commentary and I guess all I could remember was that pound of flesh. And I’ll go ahead and say again that while it’s “good” it’s still not one I prefer and probably won’t pick up again for another fifteen years. Not as flowing or whimsical as "Midsummer" or "Twelfth Night" but certainly not a drudge either (can I get "The Two Gentlemen of Verona"), it somehow leaves one lacking, as if we’ve reached a happy ending under false pretenses. The trial scene is Bill at his best wordplay, as well as many of Shylock's angry rants (he's got a lot of famous quotes), and some of the sickly sweet love boasts (especially between Jessica and Lorenzo) are pretty comical (kids you know). The anti-Semitic rants are frustrating despite "the times" (you sometimes want your literary heroes to rise above such rubbish). With Shylock portrayed as crafty but mainly just red-eyed for revenge, you get the overly worn feeling of “let’s get this guy because he’s a Jew” and not because he’s a bit of a jerk (ok, more than a bit). I was left with the basic impression that this entire ordeal was just a set up for entrapment and the forced renunciation of faith is particularly eye rolling, but all in all, I think we can pretty much smile in the end (which is also, to me, rather abrupt). And there should have been more Launcelot Gobbo. That guy ruled.
