Mat từ Audrain County từ Audrain County

Câu chuyện đáng kinh ngạc! Nhưng tôi đoán tôi là một người theo chủ nghĩa truyền thống khi nói đến phong cách viết - tôi thấy phong cách và định dạng gây mất tập trung, và, đối với tôi, đã lấy đi sức mạnh của câu chuyện. Tôi yêu mối quan hệ giữa L Diesel và cha nuôi của cô ấy Hans.

I'm one of those strange people who isn't a huge fan of the "classics". But this was the selection for bookclub, so I gave it a shot. It was an ambitious pick and I'll be curious to see how many of the girls actually got through it. I didn't know if I would, but I am glad I decided to finish. There were some good twists in the story and I really like some of Dicken's descriptions. My favorite character was Joe. Also found Havishem to be a fascinating character, although she definitely freaked me out. In my opinion, the book could have been much, much, much shorter- but apparantly Dickens got paid by the word, and he squeezed every dime he could out of this book!

Set in Salem, MA, the story evokes time and place...and modern day witches.
