About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

PossessionPossession by A.S. Byatt

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I finally watched the movie so if I never finished the book, Iwould be alright with that for it has set on my shelf much too long.

This is an award-winning book that is beautifully written, and I did not enjoy it enough to give it more than two stars. I was often reminded of Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman with the back and forth from current day to Victorian era. When the author slowed the pace of the narrative, I had difficulty reading more than four pages a day.
