The witty humor which the Collin’s character brings to the novel is great, I often found myself LOL-ing all over the place and I especially loved the ‘Other Wilkie’ interaction (or lack there of) throughout the novel. Collins often collaborated with the famous Charles Dickens in real life. ![]() The book is written from the famous English author Wilkie Collins (famous works include The Woman in Whiteand The Moonstone) perspective. I’ll admit when I first started it I was completely hooked and into it but sadly as the weeks went by I had to force myself to finish it. This book started as a generally promising suspense/horror story but ended up being a huge disappointment. I wanted to read something that was scary and suspenseful with a historic Victorian London flair. ![]() I recently picked up this book ( Drood by Dan Simmons) in anticipation for Halloween. ![]()
