I didn’t know about Collins, either, and I’d like to know more about Dickens. This does sound interesting. Useful review–thanks:)

I love Dickens too, so I think this looks like an intriguing read. I love the way you set up this review with all the pertinent information. Well done.

Thanks for that review — it does sound fascinating, and I’m a Dickens fan too. I feel fairly warned however, though I also like historical bits. Maybe I’ll look for it at the library instead of the bookstore.

I never knew about Charles Dicken’s life. Often brilliant minds have suffered much!

Another good, useful review. I’m ashamed to say I never even made it through the original DROOD. Knowing that the story had no ending was a disincentive.

Sounds like it needs a little more editing to be sharp. But the premise has me intrigued, thanks to you.

Wow, a book has to be pretty bad/dry/unfocused for me to walk away without finishing it. I’ll make sure to skip this one….but I will check out Wilkie Collins!

I don’t have enough time to read books, or maybe it’s a lack of patience sometimes. If the book does not sweep me off my feet from the very beginning, I give up…
