All about da blog

After a lifetime of failed new year resolutions- from wanting to wake up on time to solving world hunger, I have decided to tweak my previous resolution. I shall read and blog about less than or equal to 50 books during the course of the year- with emphasis on the "less than"

Book 9: The Woman in White - Wilkie Collins

I think there is a difference between Mystery and mystery. The former is exciting, nail-biting, cannot wait to figure out what is happening – feeling. The later is just something one doesn't know – who, what, when, why, where, how etc. The 'Woman in White' is unfortunately the later. Surprising; considering my penchant for mysteries, melodrama and Victorian England: Maybe, there really is something like too much of a good thing.

The novel was long, boring and at best ok - don't know what the hoopla about the book was all about.
