I found this a bit of a trial. I think it's because I found it hard to sympathise with Lily Bart. Judging by the number of stars, I seem to be in the minority.

A brilliant novel that I see as being primarily about mental illness. It's funny, bawdy and fast-paced.

Non-fiction. Some helpful stuff. But a lot of rubbish (including the bit where Peck acclaims open marriages as the only healthy ones) to sift through.

My first Heyer. Lots of fun. Like reading Jane Austen if her IQ had been a couple of dozen points or so lower.

If you're a raving atheist, this probably wont be your bag. For the Christian or anyone interested in becoming one, this is a very useful tool.

I liked it but I didn't love it.

Not just for children after all. I didn't expect this to be so funny.

So amazing. Grandiose scope. Perceptive. Exciting. Borderline addictive. I can't say enough good things about this. Made me think about the story of Caine and Able in a completely new way.

Well, it's okay.

I for one was not disappointed in the conclusion to J K Rowling's Harry Potter series. I had a great time reading it.

Good, but I found Comstock exasperating and often unpleasant.

My third Henry James and so far the only one I've enjoyed. I'm so glad I didn't let myself get put off.
