"I got a lovely 1934 illustrated edition at a library sale for $2. And only now do I realize that it only contains volume one. Sigh. (Now I'll have to go and find an ebook version, which really isn't hard at all. But I do wish I had more pictures.)" — Nov 13, 2012 11:56pm

| The characters' actions seemed rather unnatural at times, as if they acted a certain way because the author felt they should for the sake of the story, but didn't feel organic to the situation/character. They overreacted to situations that barely see...more | |

| This book was kind of traumatizing to read. The characters would be blissfully happy, then extremely miserable, then happy, the miserable again, over and over. And so it was very emotional, but by the end I was sort of wondering if the author really...more | |

| This book was rather odd and certainly improbably, but still enjoyable for all that. The other men were rather obnoxious and flat, but they're other men, so how else are they supposed to be? | |

The heroine's name bothered me. Thanks to the Bronte sisters, Bronte is, to me, definitely a last name. As a first name it looks odd. (Apparently it was one of the top 100 female names in Australia in 2000-2001, but this book is set in 1858.) Possibly...more |
