Sarah Waters recommended Wideacre (The Wideacre Trilogy, #1) in Books (curated)

"A sensational novel in all sorts of ways, this study of gender, history and power was one of the books that made me want to start writing historical fiction of my own."

Book Favorite

"This was, and still is, the ultimate bohemian novel to me. There is a certain young age when you feel that Hamsun, Dostoyevsky and Hemingway speak to you and only to you."

Good

My first foray into a graphic novel that wasn't romance related. I liked it, it was imaginative and the art was pretty cool. I'd be interested in carrying on the series.

Book Rating

This novel is often hilarious. It makes fun of the SF/F genre but can still tell an engaging story. (0 more)

It is my opinion that the author got lost in the weeds near the end of the novel. (0 more)

Illustrated in the colours that the vampires of this graphic novel can see, Red, Black and white dominate the wood print style images. No to everyone's preference, and it does tire the eyes after a while of reading, the story starts off humorously but does seem to find it difficult to go further than that, not finding its place successfully throughout the remainder of this Graphic novel. A shame as I think it all had potential.

David McK (3752 KP) rated The Mating Season (Jeeves, #9) in Books

Even by PG Wodehouse standards, this one is pretty complicated - so much so, that Bertie Wooster even provides a list at the end of the novel (something liek 'Sundered Hearts'/'Reunited Hearts')!

Of course, while reading it, I was also (perhaps unavoidably) comparing it to the episodes of the old TV series that were clearly based on this particular novel, making it impossible to visualise any other than Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie as Jeeves and Wooster, respectively.
