Review: I Am Heathcliff

I Am Heathcliff by Kate Mosse
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Fantastic collection of short stories inspired by Wuthering Heights. I enjoyed each one of the sixteen stories included which is rare for a short story collection. Some were inspired by themes in the novel and some were more like retellings but each one made a strong impression. 

Some left me feeling uneasy, others made me angry and others left me feeling a bit disturbed. I highly recommend reading this whether you're a fan of Wuthering Heights or not.

I listened to the audio version but I will be buying the print edition to reread and make notes.

Review: Dragon's Claw

Dragon's Claw by Karen Chance
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another excellent addition to the Dorina Basarab series. Chance just keeps hitting them out of the park! Dragon’s Claw is a novella set after the fourth book in the series Shadow’s Bane with an awesome appearance by Pritkin from the Cassie books!!! I seriously got so excited when he showed up cause we got to see what he’s like after the events of Ride the Storm. We also get to see how Dory is doing with her vampire nature being a lot more dominant and more humorous scenes with Marlowe.

Loved it!!

Review: The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride by William Goldman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I was a bit disappointed with this. Goldman tells the story of Buttercup and Westley through the story of a fictional version of himself searching for this book The Princess Bride that his father read to him as a child. His father read only the good bits of the book to him and he says that is what he has presented us with. It's an interesting way to tell a story (inception style) but I didn't like Goldman's character or his constant interruptions. I like how it's done in the movie with the young boy reacting to the story his grandfather is reading him but Goldman's comments annoy me. Other than that the story is very enjoyable and a lot of fun to read.

The movie is better though.
