didn't like itit was okliked itloved itit was amazing
 This is a typical Gothic novel. Lots of crying, fainting, screaming, silly "I'm breaking the door down...here I go", personal thoughts and ramblings but tottaly worth the read! I think that all readers need to experiance all literature and this is one book that should be experianced!

 A long story, but strangely engrossing. Sometimes the descriptions and personal thoughts can get tedious, but I still had a strong desire to figure out the end.

 Love Jane Austen? Ann Radcliffe was a huge gothis influence of novels of her day. Remember the references in Northanger Abbey? I loved this massive tome with lovely morality lessons. But, I have to admit I skipped the endless sonnets ;-)

 Wonderful gothic romance where everything goes wrong for the poor heroine and the damp castles and windy nights camping in forests leave you longing to spend more time shivering in dangerous situations. Wonderful descriptions of northern Italy and the south of France make this book even more epic in my estimation.

 this is as close as it comes to time travel. After a few days of reading you will feel your vocabulary shift into a very polite and beautiful place.
