A little drawn out at some points but overall a very well written book. I like the old English wording. I wish people still spoke that way. It seems much more intelligent than what the English language has become.
Slow start, but just what I had been looking for. Writing was pretty good, a little tedious at times, but that's to be expected for books written for that time period. Satisfied, ahhhhhhhhh.
Old language not withstanding, this is a marvelous story. I highly recommend this book. The author has a fantastuc way of weaving all events and characters to the delight of the reader. Obviously, peoples reactions to events have been defined by a female of her own era. I cannot picture MEN swooning!
Really enjoyed this book. The twists and turns of the story kept me riveted, I found it difficult to put down. The ending confused me though as to where the sailors came from who had heard the final words of Batsy? There was no real lead up to Sweetwater finding them.
The book is well written. It is well paced and caught my attention from the beginning. I wanted an easy reading and this book was perfect for it. As Sammy Das, I also kept turning the pages until the end. The solution to the mystery is the only part I am not happy with. I did not like it at all. I felt it was a little disappointing; it was too "easy" and I think it is not as good as the rest of the book.
Very weighty in style and verse. Took a long time coming to the point because of it. All said, very good. Some annoyances, of course is NOT of coarse. Clew is an odd spelling, but if you can get past this, it is one of the better offerings.
This one I literally could not put down. Plot twists kept me guessing and although she gives the clues all the way through the book, you really can't predict "who done it". This is the writer that inspired Agatha Christie.
This book concerns a blind woman in love with an epileptic whose treatments, bizarrely, turn him blue. Her eyesight temporarily restored, she must choose between her blue lover and his healthy twin brother, who also loves
