Better to find a new book I can genuinely sink my teeth into.Mark Fengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01922616270777907779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089462212630036161.post-42844431379879464432012-10-12T19:33:38.763+01:002012-10-12T19:33:38.763+01:00Its one I had to push through but the 2nd half was...Its one I had to push through but the 2nd half was very good.

Poe's "Masque" is one of my favorite Poe stories. However, this novelization isn't very true to the story. It shares a Poe-tone, and some of the ideas, but it's a very loose adaptation.<br /><br />I came very close to putting this book down by page 40, but I managed to stick it out. Which I'm glad about Secretly_Samushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441898393809173172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089462212630036161.post-46913750475922646762012-10-12T12:15:25.764+01:002012-10-12T12:15:25.764+01:00Maybe if I had read the original I don't know....Maybe if I had read the original I don't know.<br /><br />I will read the next book!
