William Wysession williamwysession — I really liked this book and would give it 4 1/2 stars, but since I can't really mark that, I will probably give it 4, I usually only give 5 stars to books I would read again. First of all, the language and imagery in this book are amazing. The way Dickens describes the brutality of the French Revolution is brilliant, he captures the horror and yet never loses his sympathy for why the citizens reacted the way they did. But I must say, one of the things I really enjoyed about the last third of the book was the way all of the various characters, who had seemed unconnected throughout, ended up being related, or carried a deep seded (?) grudge against each other, or knew secrets about each other etc. I know it was a literary affectation, but what a ride! I had figured out what was going to happen between Carton and Darnay way back in the book when Carton spoke with Lucie, but I could not figure out how it would come about. It was fun to see it all work out. I also really enjoyed the scene between Miss Pross and Citizeness Defarge. That bitch, if you will pardon my French (and pardon my pun) got EXACTLY what she deserved! And although she had but a minor part, I believe I will remeber the sweet little French seamstress each time I think of this book. All in all, although the plot was slow to get rolling, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to add another classic to the list of books they have read.

Ahmed Osama ahmadosama2012f3cb — IVERALL: Generally creepy stories involving Holmes and monsters of some sorts. Some are pretty good, few are amazing, lots are meh. Worth the read but I prefer the companion "Gaslight Grimoire" much more. Hounded - Stephen Volk (3/5): Weird enough, slightly eerie but just didn't quite do it for me. The Death Lantern - Lawrence C. Connolly (3.5/5): Interesting reactions to watching brutality over and over again. Makes me wonder about all the violence we watch The Quality of Mercy - William Meikle (4/5): Very creepy. Forces Holmes just doesn't know how to deal with, ditto with Watson, and one man more than willing to believe it for his own sake. Emily's Kiss - James A. Moore (3/5): Again, creepy enough but I find not knowing about what happened to Watson or the family more frustrating than anything. The Tragic Case of the Child Prodigy - William Patrick Maynard (4/5): Such a sad story. Thrilling, but tragic for the titular character. The Last Windigo - Hayden Trenholm (3.5/5): And now you push my Canadian buttons. Loved the idea and loved the execution if not the end. Celeste - Neil Jackson (3/5): Creepy abandoned ships that sailors will not go near are always a bad time. Always. People need to learn this. The Best Laid Plans - Robert Lauderdale (2.5/5): Lestrade met Moriarty first apparently. I don't know, I should have liked this one but again it just didn't seem quite right to me. Exalted are the Forces of Darkness - Leigh Blackmore (4/5): This one was truer to Holmesian form than the rest. A grisly murder, magic being done improperly, and Holmes refusing to believe what has happened. Well played! The Affair of the Heart - Mark Morris (5/5): Holmes has a human heart delivered to his door and then he and Watson end up in a time portal or sorts where they figure out who the heart belongs to. Random idea but man does it work well! It's fantastic. The Hand Delivered Letter - Simon Kurt Unsworth (5/5): James Moriarty survived the falls and has a special letter, and a special fate, all ready for Holmes. Oh man is this creepy. Zombies aren't just for fun... Of the Origin of the Hound of the Baskervilles - Barbara Roden (3.5/5): The hound isn't a hound; he's a werewolf. That's essentially it. Mr. Other's Children - J.R. Campbell (3/5): creepy crawlies ahoy. Creepy.
