Kaileb Bryant (3 KP) rated Jane Eyre in Books
Jun 11, 2019
When reading, it is interesting to pay attention and watch out for references of fire and ice - this can add layers to your understanding and add a depth of interest.
Also, watch out for gothic tropes such a doubles, and see how these add to the plot.
Overall a fantastic read, though the ending may seem anti-climatic to some, I personally find it charming.
Enjoy this Victorian novel!
David McK (3755 KP) rated Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
I beleive there is now something like 18 books in the eries; this is the very first that introduces us to the central character of Amelia Peabody: a Victorian heiress at the turn of the century. I'm also not really sure how to classify this novel, as it combines elements of mystery, action/adventure, romance and comedy, with the central character of Amelia herself being a bit of a know-it-all (she's always right, even after the fact).
Will I read more in the series? Probably, but I don't know if they are books I would go out of my way to look for.
