You can read the whole review and more reviews (and other bookish things) at Wensend.com.I adored this book. This book is inspired by Brönte’s Jane Eyre, which I haven’t read. I’m planning to read it in the future, but apart from having read a few reviews online, I’m therefore not able to make a com...
under 2 stars, really. unfortunately. i totally love the idea for this book, but just don't appreciate its execution. (also, it's not all that true to jane eyre, which is fine if this is a stand alone book, but it's not.) i liked this a lot better the first time i read it, but this time found my...
What I liked best was the amazing voice - it reminded me a little of [b:Heart of Darkness|4900|Heart of Darkness |Joseph Conrad|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328698658s/4900.jpg|2877220], or what I remember of it, anyway: that sense of oppressive, humid doom; the vegetal, dangerous, organic descent ...
I wish I had liked this book more. The idea behind it--the story of Antoinette/Bertha and Rochester before the events recounted in Jane Eyre, which is a book I love--was great, and this is primarily why I chose to read it; but in the end, I think I had set too high expectations.The setting in the fi...
Beginning Wide Sargasso Sea, you already know where it is headed. You are entering into the life of the woman in the attic in Jane Eyre. Bronte creates an unsympathetic madwoman, but through the tragic context she creates, Jean Rhys portrays a woman for whom it is impossible not to feel tremendous c...
A short but intense book. If jane eyre's book is filled with cold grey landscape, this one is hot & burning. And Mr. Rochester, ah... I'm a fan but you really don't show your best side here. Granted he was also not a model boy scout in JE, but somehow to criticize him there feels like being a no-fun...
Really didn't like the book but how much of that was me ::at:that:time:: *shrugs* This is up for grabs at R4x so I'll swing by and have a listen.#1 Tensions escalate amongst the former slaves on a Caribbean island. Prequel to Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, read by Adjoa Andoh.#2 The mother of Creole ...
Jane Eyre is one of my all time favorites. I remember so much about the first time I held the book in my hands and fell completely head over heels in love with Victorian literature:the time, the feel of the period and Bronte's writing.Wide Sargasso Sea is ambitious; I can't imagine wanting to take a...
Beware of a few Jane Eyre spoilers if you've managed to live your life so far without a) reading it, or b) knowing what happens...............................................................................................................................One thing that really gets on my nerves is whe...
This was the second book that I read for English I and is an example of what they called intertextuality. I remember that a friend of mine at university (or should I say acquaintance since she became anything but) told me that I should pay careful attention to two of these lectures as they would be ...
