I found the life of the protagonist more appealing than the writing of this book. It was a pleasant enough read, although less poetry than choppy prose in short lines. ( ) 4Q, 4P (my VOYA codes). I gave this novel-in-verse work a 4 for quality as it flows pretty well and makes you feel like it could have actually been written by Mary Shelley, and I gave it a 4 for popularity as I believe many people would like to read this book - even if they aren't normally readers of poetry or novels-in-verse. The book was a great fictionalization of many true events in Mary Shelley's life and I really felt as though I had an inside view into her personal diaries or journals. The book is powerful through its simplicity and it really shows what kind of a person Mary was and the type of tragic life she lived - before and after writing one of literature's most famous books - Frankenstein. Alright. This book is way more than what I thought it be. For sure, I love the writing. But the characters had my stomach in knots. Love: Let me tells you the way this love is hideous. This love is doomed from the start. And iffy guy attracted to a young girl, romance moves fast. Oh and did I mention he is STILL married and has a child on the way while he is pursuing her. Yup.Cause he is. And I knew as soon as she feel for his antics there was no going back. This love isn’t one I enjoyed but really cringed at. There were so many underlying lies and betrayals, yet once she was married to this man she looks the other way. I mean, in this time period you have too. She is woman and women in that time period solely relied on their husbands. But man, I felt sorry for this girl and what she went through. Plot: This story is told in verse form. Like a poem. So it was a quick read for me. Each poem was written beautifully with full detail of what is happening in her life. From her courtship, to marriage, to giving birth, to struggles that any married couple goes through. Still, I think had this girl not been so infatuated with this man, she could of saved herself a lot of heartache. Frankenstein: Because of that heartache, she is fueled to write. And write she does. She creates this magnificent story that goes on to successful. Even more successful than what she every thought. Overall, I enjoyed this story. Though I would of preferred a more detail story rather than verse form. I mean, it does give good detail in verse but I think in a novel form it would have been richer. If you like verse form with plenty of drama, check this book out. Hideous Love is good. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
