Why is it, in these acclaimed Victorian stories, the love interests behave like assholes? In the leads positions, I would be happy to be a spinster. I was pleased that this was not going the way if P&P, but seems I was wrong.

I have always equated Bronte with Austen, and so I've avoided this book (I know, gasp!). Fortunately this story is on such a higher level than anything I've read from Austen I'm finding it hard to put down.

The mom in me is getting frustrated with Tom and Huck. Just finish the prison break and move on.

Interesting writing style, perfect for picking up and walking away... but you won't want to. Enticing story.

Book is getting good. I'm overcoming my issue with long chapters and just enjoying the story.

I've been changing some of my habits to find some reading time, and decided to start doing some reading before bed. This is the wrong book to do this with - I ended up reading for two hours. Engaging, easy to read, and the reader is tossed into a wonderful story right away, I see myself finishing this soon.

I've had this on my shelves for nearly a year and finally finding time to read it. Half way through, very fun story, except just now I noticed the narrator comments on the bottom of each page. which means I'll have to start over after my first go through.

Can I just skip ahead and read the chapters of the characters I like?

A bit more disjointed than his usual style, this story is not giving me much to go on as far as character development. CdL normally leaves a lot to ones imagination but I think there may be too much unspoken. But then it's a book about witches, and maybe I should be considering hidden secrets instead.

This book is taking forever. Would it have hurt Tolkien to use some names that had different sounds from every other name in the book?
