Gaiman en iyisi. Bu kitabı takip ederek bir yolculuğa çıkmak istiyorum.
Simply the most wonderful book.
Most amazing book ever!
This was a really good story.
(The description attached to this book in Goodreads isn't really accurate, because the main character ISN'T drawn to the house by her own passion, really. Rachaela gets manipulated into most of her decisions throughout the book, and she doesn't seem to WANT anything, other than to be left alone and not bothered. Her motivations can be summed up as "I'm comfortable with how things are and I don't want them to be changed. Okay, things have changed and I'm comfortable with how they are NOW and I don't want them to be changed.") I think I'd describe this book as "trashy", but in a good way. It's very dark (naturally), with lots of gloomy descriptions and VERY flowery prose. I'm currently in the mood for dark books, so this works for me. Oh, and the "trashy" description comes from the fact the story is about an ancient, incestuous family trying to preserve their bloodline, and the only capable breeder in the family happens to be Rachaela's father. You tell ME how that's going to turn out.
Incredible! ...If you can get through it! The book is a madhouse and then some, with footnotes that sometimes take over for pages at a time. It's at least 3 or 4 stories being told at once, and is practically impossible to follow without going back a few times to figure exactly where the hell you are, and how in the hell you ended up there. It's a challange and a half for any normal reader. For someone with ADHD, it's a B.I.T.C, ahem! You know the rest. If you can handle it, READ IT! But only if you're up for the challange. It's creepy as hell at times!
