Customer Reviews
Loved it...
For someone who hadn't finished a book in years I was amazed at just how quickly I got hooked on this booked and loved every page. I even shed a tear along the way.
Great book!
Not the type of book I normally read, but still found it very enjoyeable. The set is 19th century England is superbly described - its class society with its rich sides and its poor ones as well, the very precarious courtship relations and the hypocrisies of the society. The story is told as a first person story, with a very engaging character, and the role of Edgard Allan Poe goes through greatly: the story is full of surprises and turns, and kept me reading without stop!
Loved it
This is a fantastic book which is extremely interesting. The plot was fabulous with heroes and villains. Very well-written, interesting and enjoyable.
