Elle (louiselesley) The sequels are bad

Beautiful prose, nice story but not really creepy for a gothic novel.

Leslie How was A Tale of a Tub? I have it on my Kindle but some of the reviews scared me off of reading it!

It was VERY hard to read. It's quite short actually (ca. 150 pages) but took me much longer than expected. I also wouldn't have understood it without reading some notes on it. Definetely not something I'd recommend as a pleasure read even though it's brilliant once you know what it's about.

Thanks, that is what I had read. I guess I will make sure that I have notes too when I take the plunge...
