“This book does hold up remarkably well considering its age. Unfortunately the story just plodded a long without a lot of interesting hooks to keep me going. I had to throw in the towel on this one and move on.”

“I read this book knowing it to be one of the earlier works of gothic fiction and therefore, was not too disappointed instead I rather snorted my way through it. Once you get used to the language, it was quite entertaining though I had to skim through some of the sentimental blubbers and put up with all the coincidental incidences and repentant evildoers (lots of eye-rollings happening too). There was no surprise for the ending, just punishments for the bad and ever after happiness for the deserving good. All in all, it was quite entertaining since I knew what I was letting myself in for.”
