"Heavenly Creatures; put a New Zealand one in here, for national pride, but I do think it’s a beautiful and interesting film. It’s the most beautiful film about matricide he ever made."

"I feel a strong sense of Polish pride when I watch any Polanski film. This one is the perfect blend of absurdity and levity. Like Waiting for Godot for the theatrically challenged."

Interesting concept and brilliantly reimagined worlds (0 more)
Characters are stiff and the plot is a long winded variation of Pride and Prejudice. (0 more)
Don't get me wrong, I love magic and Pride and Prejudice and the ability to commiserate with a fictional English grad student on the development of a thesis, but I was mostly underwhelmed by this novel. I wanted it to be so much better than it was. Still decent, but it had the ability to be amazing.
