As dreamy and ethereal as its title, as ghostly sweet as the cover art promises, that is Harris’ beautifully told gothic master piece. Read it and agree with me ( ) This was not my favourite of Joanne Harris' books. I found it readable but the main character was not my favourite. It's one of her earlier novels, and it's written in a sort of neo-gothic style, which I thought was interesting but I wasn't really sure I liked. It's a pretty angsty book and I remember it being pretty morbid. I think the biggest problem I had with it is that the main character is male, and most of Joanne Harris' main characters are female. I found it a bit slow in places, and while it was cohesive it just wasn't my favourite of hers. But, after reviewing a few of Harris' books that I read, I'd love to read some more of her work again soon. One aspect of this book that I liked was the way [a:Joanne Harris|9432|Joanne Harris|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1251452384p2/9432.jpg] used tarot cards as section headings in her book. I was fortunate to read the bulk of this book on a plane where I wasn't constantly interrupted by life. It helped me to understand the story a bit better. This is another one of [a:Joanne Harris|9432|Joanne Harris|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1251452384p2/9432.jpg]'s mystical or ethereal novels. It wasn't one of my favorites.

I just wish I had a guide so I could understand the underlying notion of this book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
