I enjoyed this story until the end. The way it ended felt awkward to me. Maybe it was partly because I wanted the story to keep going and it just ends so abruptly.
I really like the fact that you never learn the woman’s name. I also like the way it started. The first line, “last [...]

I read the big book for Christmas & let me tell you for some reason it was hard. I actually had to force myself to pick the book up & read it. I really can not tell you why it was so hard for me to read this book (or series of books), [...]

Reading the Christmas Chronicles did put me in the mindset for Christmas. It was very well articulated, with just enough humor to make the pace enjoyable, and with plenty of historical tidbits mixed in to make it believable. I looked forward to the break it offered me by picking it up to get away from [...]

I felt like this book was mostly fantasy with a little truth here and there. Some of the actions were believable, especially for the time period given. I actually found the little tidbits that were inserted by Goldman to be quite amusing at times, but other times it kind of annoyed me because it cut [...]

Once again I find myself asking… myself… why I hadn’t already read a book. This happens a lot in my life, especially for books that I’ve had for quite some time but never seemed to get around to reading. I grew up watching the movie and enjoying it, loving every minute in fact, even those [...]

First I have to state that I saw the movie version of this book for the first time years ago when I was teenage and it just came out in the theater (1987).  This movie has long been a family favorite and at one time I probably had a lot of it memorized, mostly so [...]

*** I see once again I have to be first, lol.***
Ooh boy, this one is going to be hard for me. You see, I never knew that this was an actual book until about two years ago. I only knew the movie which was one of my favorite chick flicks, lol. This [...]

Rebecca, what is there to say about Rebecca. When I first read the book, I was only about eleven years old. I was completely mystified about the whole story. I honestly thought that Maxium loved Rebecca & that the narrator was just a replacement to try & help Maxium get ove his broken [...]

“Rebecca” is classified as a Gothic Romance.  That classification alone pretty much gives away everything that is going to happen in the novel.  An indifferent widower, a large mansion haunted by the past, a mega-creepy houselady who looks like a living skeleton, and a new bride who allows herself to be freaked out by it [...]

All right, I won’t lie. The book started off really slowly, and I admit I wanted to put it down several times. It got to the point, even, where I just wanted to set it aside alltogether, thinking that if it wasn’t going to pick up the pace that I didn’t really want to spend [...]
