The same, unadulterated Scotland that I fell in love with.
Compelling, but as far as plots go, you read one Mary Higgins Clark, you've read them all. A very predictably plot once you've caught onto the pattern. Very enjoyable, however, and completely understandable.

Some of the best and most intellegent writing in this century. More chick lit authors should be like Cohen. Women like intelligent romance!
This, in my opinion is Conan Doyle's best work. Professor Challenger presents a more compelling and entertaining character study than does Sherlock Holmes.

Not very scary or compelling. The first part was absolutely awesome, but Stoker failed to hold the reader enthralled for the entire novel.

A wonderful philosophical novel which is a must read classic. This is basically the best book without real people that you are ever going to see. Abbott may be completely out of his mind, but he knows what he's talking about.

I love the way in which Austin rips her society to shreads good-naturedly. Mr. Knightly is comperable to Mr. Darcy. But where is the romance?

This novel was hard to get into at first but well worth the reading as it had adventure, spies, and a romantic setting. Wilkie Collins, the father of the mystery novel, was a literary genius!
This is my favorite book EVER. I especially like Margurite's point of view which was sadly not replicated in Orczy's other books
This book gives us an insight into the depravities and, conversly the beauties of humanity. The ugliness of the phantom is contrasted with the beauty of his music and understandably, Christine feels an undeniably pity for him, whereas the naive Raoul only feels anger towards him. One of the best characters that was left out of the musical version was the Persian, who presents important background into the phantom's life. This book totally made me cry at the end!
