She seemed like someone I would not like in person, and Cassandra when she moped was nowhere near as fun as when she wasn't, but I agree--it was a wonderful book. :)zellakatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466934007546605691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797692592906360192.post-52120719651564368382010-08-09T09:53:20.457-05:002010-08-09T09:53:20.457-05:00This is SweetTart :)

I...This is SweetTart :)<br /><br />I finally figured it out!<br /><br />I love this book. The only things I don't like about it are Rose and mopey Cassandra.

I do think you'll enjoy this one very much. It is a delightful read. And Miss Marm just announced today that this will be the next book club read! Hehe Yeah, that Bierce story is a little freaky. But I love it. :D<br /><br />Eric: *cough* What do you mean put your name in your books? Here, take this Bierce book. It happened onto my bookshelf. It looks lost. :Pzellakatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466934007546605691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797692592906360192.post-59525588371131440552010-06-28T23:54:54.528-05:002010-06-28T23:54:54.528-05:00@scotty - Maybe you can think of it as a literary ...@scotty - Maybe you can think of it as a literary Faulty Towers?

It sounds delightfully British and Austin-ish, I'll definitely add this one to the list! :D<br /><br />I read Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge this year...it scared me, wasn't expecting that ending. :PFeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264459557558264995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797692592906360192.post-84766868787121164402010-06-28T13:23:21.337-05:002010-06-28T13:23:21.337-05:00Eric, this book is a lot of fun!
Oh, yes, good e...Eric, this book is a lot of fun! <br /><br />Oh, yes, good endings are vital. I have liked some books until I got to the ending and they were just ruined for me.<br /><br />The Unblogged Chronicles were where I would do capsule reviews of all the books I didn't blog about. I totally forgot about it until you mentioned that book. Then I remembered I had planned to feature that on the next Unblogged Chronicles. <br /><br />*cough* I did not take the Bierce book.

What is the Unblogged Chronicles? I don't remember.<br /><br />I had a collection of Bierce's Civil War stories on the shelf and now I can't find it. Did you take it? :) I didn't know he disappeared!! Definitely contributes to the mystique.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283778449063082036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797692592906360192.post-81361858219543674402010-06-28T02:06:02.921-05:002010-06-28T02:06:02.921-05:00Hehe It is scary how much we're alike, Serena!...Hehe It is scary how much we're alike, Serena! (My last Austen was Persuasion and I was so sad. :( ) I think you'll definitely enjoy this novel--it is such a delight to read.<br /><br />Oooh, no, I never have! They sound excellent. I shall have to see if we have them in our library.

I will definitely read it now! I was very sad at the beginning of the summer when I finished Mansfield Park, my sixth J.A. book, and I have been wanting to read another one. I also hate (most) romance novels, so there wasn't a solution. (We are scarily alike in some ways!) I think I'll grab this at the library or bookstore the next chance I get :)<br /><br />P.S. Have you read any of Jane Austen's juvenalia (I don't know how to spell that word...)? I bought a little volume called "Love and Freindship and other Early Works" and Love and Freindship is hilarious (it mocks excessive sentimentality) and so is the Partial History of England.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653347693421007598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797692592906360192.post-24511821891442659382010-06-27T21:54:03.815-05:002010-06-27T21:54:03.815-05:00@Scott: Yes, it's very funny!

I know you don't really like Jane Austen novels, but I think you'll like the dysfunctional British characters here. :D<br /><br />@Rebel: I think you'll love this book! Cassandra is such a wonderful character who is a lot of fun to read about. Hehe I like the association you make with it. :D<br /><br />@AR: Thanks for commenting! That's so funny that you just watched the movie! *Twilight Zone music* I cannot wait to see that film. If it is anything like the book, it will be wonderful. <br /><br />Thanks to all of you for commenting. I can't wait to see what each of you thinks about the book. :)zellakatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466934007546605691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797692592906360192.post-13756028080379159152010-06-27T17:59:20.764-05:002010-06-27T17:59:20.764-05:00Very weird.

I'm in. <br /><br />This is one of those I've heard about for a long time but never actually gotten around to reading; something about the title always caught my interest, though, so I'll have to get around to it one day. <br /><br />Otherwise, it's forever going to seem like a combination of Narnia and Castle in the Attic in my mind. <br /><br />At least your review cleared that misconception up...rebel_of_nowherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825980947498261528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797692592906360192.post-34206197362943940272010-06-27T15:52:29.379-05:002010-06-27T15:52:29.379-05:00I think I've heard of this novel through Miss ...I think I've heard of this novel through Miss Marm too.
