froggo's review against another edition
да все подробности из моего детского личного дневника
например такие:
"но это несколько нудноватая или растянутая история. такая длиная (1174) не от событий, а от языка, которым написана, ну неудивительно позапрошлый век (если ещё не раньше). Нудновато. Поэтому переключилась на другую книгу..

Suspenseful and well-written! If you enjoy Jane Austen and Agatha Christie, check this one out!

Please note; my star rating on any book is completely subjective and limited to the label for each star.
1 Star I didn’t like it
2 Stars It was okay
3 Stars I liked it
4 Stars I really liked it
5 Stars It was amazing!
If I do actually have something to say about a book other than what my enjoyment factor was, I will write a review and share my thoughts. If I say I didn’t like a book but there wasn’t anything about it that I thought needed to be shared, then that’s it, I just didn’t like it.
If you’d like to start a discussion about a book or you’d like an actual review, ask any question you like and I’ll be happy to try and comply/respond.
Additional note; I do not feed the trolls. If you don’t have something constructive to say, or if you can’t say it in a respectful way, you won’t get a response from me. Ever.

A long book, but well worth it. It's like almost four books inside of one as there are many layers and multiple mysteries.
If I'd been a reader back in the 1860's this would have given me chills. It helps point out the lack of options a woman without family (and sometimes with) might find herself. I know it would at least have made me look at my husband sideways, especially if I had money. Hee!
One of the most fun parts is the fact the book is told from different perspectives. It's amazing the voices Wilkie Collins creates with only words.

Well... this was a read and a half. This was such an interesting read for me (althought it was hard to get into the story at first), I was kept in the dark until certain pages cleared my confusion and confirmed my suspicions.

Read only if you want to get angry… and if you like sweet satisfying revenge.
