I agree with what others have said nossy Send a noteboard - 27/04/2012 02:30:31 PM
I get bogged down in some of the prose, but the dialogue kills me. I love that each time I read it, I can find another line that I previously misinterpreted - I originally had no idea she was so often going for snark and sarcasm.

Oh, come on. Jane Eyre is a great book. Legolas - 26/04/2012 08:42:17 PM 1125 Views
Hated Wuthering Heights. (but not as much as I hate Rochester of course) Vivien - 26/04/2012 09:31:13 PM 1144 Views

I admit she's too good for him - but isn't that part of the point? Legolas - 26/04/2012 10:08:13 PM 1110 Views

Dialogue, wit, characters. The plot and descriptive prose are merely functional, true. Legolas - 27/04/2012 11:26:27 PM 1035 Views
The dialogue, wit, and characters I am not puzzled about. Dan - 28/04/2012 03:17:37 AM 1172 Views
