Gregory Maguire: Wicked (2007, Harper) 3 stars

When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic …

Started reading Wicked recently without having seen or knowing anything about the Musical. I gotta say, quite interesting... I cannot for the life of me tell where this is headed.

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu: Carmilla (2000) 4 stars

Carmilla is an 1872 Gothic novella by Irish author Sheridan Le Fanu and one of …

Short, not gay enough, but thrilling when it was

Δυσκολεύτηκα να το διαβάσω

3 stars

Να πω την αλήθεια δεν έχω διαβάσει ολόκληρο το βιβλίο για να έχω μια άποψη για την ιστορία αλλά μπορεί λόγω της ηλικίας μου, μπορεί λόγω προσωπικού μου γούστου, αλλά η αναγνωστική εμπειρία ήταν ανυπόφορη. Τόσο κριντζ χρήση λεξιλογίου και εκφράσεων έχω ξαναδιαβάσει μόνο σε ειρωνικά χιουμοριστικά κείμενα, αλλά εδώ για κάποιον λόγο δεν μου ερχόταν να γελάσω.
