I wasn't sure I cared for it at first, but after finishing it and mulling over it for a bit I can say it has some beautiful moments in it.<br /><br />I also read Great Expectations for the same class. Though it was slow going, I really loved the setting and the characters. I'm thinking I should read some more Dickens in the future. I love Victorian stuff! <br /><br />I reread The Light of the Oracle by Victoria Hanley, which is a really good character-based YA fantasy, as well as Shannon Hale's Enna Burning.<br /><br />I think I may have read parts of a lot of other books, but I'm not sure which ones.Sylvia-of-Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290814788908786432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4232639346497420305.post-57413269944500621322014-09-08T17:05:05.638-06:002014-09-08T17:05:05.638-06:00Allison, I am a huge Shakespeare fan, but yeah . ....Allison, I am a huge Shakespeare fan, but yeah . . . some of it is not exactly beach reading!
