Some Spoilerish Stuff about Content If You Haven't Read This Yet

1978. What inappropriate books was I reading the year I was eleven? Let's see: Scruples, Punish the Sinners (ugh, gave me nightmares), The Other Side of Midnight,Valerie Sherwood and old Harlequin Romances. Throw in the odd Nancy Drew and Judy Blume book (including a smuggled copy of Forever) and you can see how I ended up as such a twisted adult.

Anyhow, I gotta say I never saw this book lying around anywhere back then. I did read S

This book is bizarre but so well written that I gave it 5-stars. This is a very dark book. The hero was not loveable... he was crazy and evil and the heroine was weak and helpless. I didn't feel warm and fuzzy after reading it but I'm glad I did. ...more

It's a relic from the bodice ripper era...what did I expect?
Wasn't all bad though. The story being told in 1st person was completely different than any other bodice ripper I've read and it actually was fine. It was obviously annoying not knowing what was going through the hero's *cough* villian *cough* head. (some serious explaining needs to be done on his behalf cause he was down right awful as hell for most of the book--but no what we got was 'I was in love wi

Truely a classic! If it wasn't for the last chapter I would've given it 4 stars. I have mixed feeling about Domenico. He was a strange and cruel and I couldn't connect to him properly like most other characters, but that was probably what the author wanted I won't say I LOVED this book but it was very well written and the plot was rich with lots of unexpected twists and turns and awesome secondary characters. Plus the hero is bisexual which was really interesting and something we don't really ge ...more

Uzun süredir bu kitap karşıma çıkar olmuştu. Söz konusu sahiplenici, kıskanç, alfa erkekler olunca burada ki karakter hepsini ezer geçermiş. Kızın sevgilisi sandığı adama işkence etmiş. Bir kaç gün önce okuduğum bu spoilerlar benim radarları açmaya yetti bile.

Kitaba karşı aslında ne desem bilemez haldeyim. Ne güzel, ne çirkin diyebiliyorum. Benim açımdan çok değişik bir kitap okudum. 1600'lerde ki İtalya'yı keşfetmiş oldum. Ama gelin görün

The Silver Devil published in 1978 has all the hallmarks of a classic bodice ripper with rape, alleged incest, cruelty, torture, a submissive heroine and an arrogant hero. Sounds spectacular but reads unfortunately as a passionless tale with one dimensional characters and stilted, dated writing. A disappointment.
