I LOVED Go Ask Alice in junior high! actually i might have read that one freshman year of highschool. haha. Have you read any of the wrestling books?! hahaaa
Thanks for your comment on the 50 Book Challenge. I'm trying to keep my thread there relatively spoiler-free, so I thought I'd answer here. I was referring in my post about The Thirteenth Tale to the revelation that Vida Winter is actually a third March sister rather than one of the twins. I thought it was a nice resolution to the mysteries of Angelfield and worked within the framework Setterfield had outlined, but it seemed sort of just to sit there. Given the number of references to Jane Eyre in The Thirteenth Tale, it's very hard for me not to draw parallels between the two books. And it seems like in Jane Eyre the revelation that explains everything also has major implications for the characters and the remaining events of the story. The revelation in The Thirteenth Tale seemed like all it did was explain everything. Which is not to say that I disliked the book. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
I saw your messages on the 50 Book Challenge. Loved 'The Thirteenth Tale'. What an awesome story, kept me on my toes the whole book. I loved the fact the I guessed the end, but was wrong.
