Book Reviews -- Fiction

I've decided to split up my linked up list of all my book reviews because it's getting so long.  So here are all the FICTION books I've reviewed over the years.  Click here for the list of nonfiction book reviews.

Graphic novels and manga are at the bottom of the page.

(I've included my movie-style rating in parentheses after the book's title if I rated that book.  I didn't start rating books until 2013, and sometimes I forget to rate a book, which is why they don't all have ratings.)

  1. I hope you had a great Christmas, Hamlette! I just thought I'd check out your To-Read List...

    So far I've read The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Count of Monte Cristo, Emma, The Great Gatsby, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel-Pie Society, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Lady Susan & The Watsons & Sanditon, Mansfield Park, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, The Princess Bride, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, Sense and Sensibility, The Sign of Four and A Study in Scarlet. And I actually enjoyed every single one of those books! OK, either I'm just really easily pleased or you just happened to pick a lot of great books. I cheerfully accept the latter! :D

    At some point I want to read Anne of Green Gables, Eragon, The Eyre Affair, something by Ernest Hemingway, The Jane Austen Book Club, The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, A Room with a View & The Seven Per Cent Solution.

    1. This is my list of books I've reviewed here -- the to-read list is even longer (gulp!), and I haven't finished it yet (double gulp!).

      Oooooh, Hemingway! Does this mean you've read nothing of his yet? My favorite is his memoir, A Movable Feast. If you like short stories, try to find a collection called "The Nick Adams Stories." I really like those. I'm not as fond of his novels, actually, except for the writing in them.

      Anyway, of those you listed as having not read yet, I absolutely LOVE Anne of Green Gables and The Eyre Affair and A Room with a View. I'm very fond of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution too.

      And I did have a good Christmas! A bit frenetic at times, but pleasant anyway. How was yours?

    2. Aw man! I must have clicked on the wrong thing. I feel pretty stupid now!

      I've been quite wary about reading Hemingway for years and I'm really not sure why. I've heard 'The Old Man and the Sea' is one of his best and also one of his shortest so if I ever read Hemingway it will probably be that one.

      Glad to hear you had a good Christmas! Mine was good too :)

    3. Well, they ARE right next to each other.

      I don't recommend "The Old Man and the Sea." Hemingway himself called it a literary stunt, and it's not a good taste of his usual style. But it's really famous because it got lots of awards. It's quite short, though, not even long enough to be called a novella IMHO.

      Hemingway gets labeled a misogynist a lot, though I find his woman characters equally as well-rounded and well-written as his man characters. But it's probably because of his real-life persona as a "man's man," what with all the hunting and fishing and drinking and multiple wives.

  2. Yeah... I suppose the misogyny label was kind of the reason why :D And if I do ever do end up reading 'The Old Man and the Sea' first I'll keep in mind that it's not his usual style.

    1. Lots of people do love TOMATS, so you might too!

      If I only read books by people who were never jerks, I wouldn't read many books.

    1. MovieCritic, haha! Well, this is what 5 years worth of book reviews looks like when you review 40+ books a year :-)

      Delete
    2. Wow! These all need to go on my to read list. Keep up the great work!!! In half a year I reviewed 6 books. But then again I'm not just a book blog.

    3. And that's precisely why I started a book blog. I was posting book reviews on three other blogs (two of which I have since abandoned, and one of which was the Soliloquy), and I wanted them to be all in one place. One blog dedicated to all things bookish. So in 2012, I copied all my old reviews over here, and started afresh in January of 2013.
