I have very mixed feeling about this novel. Juliet Moreau, the main character, seems to end up in an even worse situation at the end of the story than she was in at the beginning. This story is supposed to be inspired by the H. G. Wells' story The Island of Dr. Moreau which I have never read. The se...
This review was originally posted on my blog2.5 stars rounded up to 3I have heard many people rave about how good The Madman’s Daughter is, so I put it on hold at the library and read it when it came in. It didn’t fully sound like my type of book, but I’ve had others surprise me, so I decided to giv...
Book hype can go one of two ways: either it's just as incredible as everyone says it would be, or it's so over-hyped that it's a disappointing read. The Madman's Daughter didn't quite fit into either category for me, but sat somewhere in the middle.I'd heard of several bloggers saying that they cou...
*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*sasdfj huh? Oh, is the book over? Well, I guess I’d better review it, then.THE GOODJuliet, our main protagonist and narrator, was pretty decent for the first few chapters. Smart, hard working, determined, but not without her female friends and wistful drea...
This book sounded so awesome. A dark and gritty premise about a mad scientist who continues his work on a remote island. Sounds good, right? For some reason I was thinking it would be something like Shutter Island, but it's not, or wasn't for me. Me and The Madman's Daughter had a very roller coas...
It's been a while since I've chosen a book to read all by myself without any recommendation from anyone. And this book was FREAKING AMAZING. I can't contain myself, LOL. It completely deserves the 5 stars and even more if I could give it.I honestly don't know where to start because I can't-My feelin...
3.5---Immediate Reaction---I haven't read The Island of Dr. Moreau so I had no idea what to expect going in, but this was surprisingly good - in a dark, twisted way. The last few chapters were a thrill ride. I wouldn't have guessed the plot twists in a million years.I have my reasons for the somewha...
(3.5 stars)This is the first pick for the YA Book Club I joined, and I was already planning on reading this, so that worked out perfectly! Slight spoiler warning for this book.Here is the Goodreads summary:Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London—working as a maid, atten...
I am the first to admit that, when it comes to creepy reads, I am not always your girl. I am a bit of a wimp, and tend to watch those scary horror films through my fingers. Unfortunately, when it comes to reading, that doesn't really work so well, so it was with some trepidation that I went into The...
Taking inspiration from several classic gothic horror, mystery, and romance novels, this story is disturbing, darkly romantic, unsettling, and grotesquely beautiful. Juliet is a fantastic, self-sufficient, strong, independent heroine who, orphaned to the harshness of the world and tainted by scandal...
