The Madman’s Daughter is an amazing gothic novel that keeps you reading till late at night, not wanting to put the book down. It has gothic, romantic and mystery elements all combined in one. The book isn’t scary but suspenseful, and a little twisted due to how Dr. Moreau abnormal creations. Just picturing them alive gives you the chills. But all in all, I would definitely recommend this book to other readers. I liked that the novel wasn’t mostly scary, but was mysterious and romantic. The mysterious elements come from when Juliet, Montgomery and Dr. Moreau are trying to find the mystery killer and don’t succeed until the end. During that time, the atmosphere of mystery and suspense just kept growing. I personally love romantic books, so
Overall, the novel was a good read, but at times was uncomfortable. For someone who is not a lover of vampire books or movies, the novel was very interesting. However, it did raise some questions about race in America, the meaning of family, and
For the most part, the novel was very enjoyable. One aspect of it that I loved was that the storyline was extremely intense, which always compelled me to find out what would happen next. For example,
I especially did like the descriptive style of the writer and how the vividness of it made the book come to life and
I liked the book because i thought their was a lot of detail added into the story also i think that it was kind of neet that their was good characters
On to the positives! From the plot line to the writing style, to the character development, it was well put together. Quite a few times, I even found myself looking up certain words as I had never seen or heard them before. I, for one, will not complain about learning some new complex words. The pacing was also steady, once I started reading the book, I found it difficult to put down, especially towards the end, when everything came to a head. Lastly, the character development was wonderful.
Overall, I thought this was a very well-written novel. I do not normally read many historical fiction novels, but I did enjoy this novel. I must admit, I did not know much about the things that took place in this novel. I am saddened that people had to live this way, and that so many individuals were executed under Joseph Stain's
There were a number of reasons that I liked the book. I thought it was an interesting and a fun angle of the story to include the real person, Alfred Hitchcock, who was a famous movie director. I can’t think of any other fiction books that include a famous person as one of the main characters. I liked that the book was fast paced and there was always something going on or about to happen, there were lots of twists to the story. I found myself always trying to guess where the story would go
I thought that the characters were very involved and interesting, they made me want to keep reading for example in the text when Earl and Greg talk on the phone it’s funny. The plot wasn’t as interesting and it was pretty confusing, like the text kept changing. There were many themes in this book and they all stood out. The story through Greg’s point of view was fine until he was explaining stuff, I got confused when
She used extraordinarily developed dialogue and is organized and written very well, except the part about the assassin. Probably the best part and person of the book, that she just draws it out way too faaaarrrr. About a couple times you’ll hear a mention of the assassin named Vamp (like a vampire, duh) but he’s never there for long. The only times he comes out is when he tracks April when she is being dumb and “sends a letter written on a napkin to her old boyfriend” (Duncan 36). If only the author put Vamp in more it would’ve definitely been so much more exciting. This is why the end of the book is the best part. In the beginning and the middle of the book it is slow and there is nothing to really keep your attention. I was thinking I would never see an assassin ever again but when he shows up it is the greatest and most exciting thing she
This novel was not like any other book I read, it was very different. I liked this novel because there was a lot of suspense; it was basically a huge mystery. In the beginning of Dracula, there was sine confusion
The madman goes on his “God is dead” rant to atheists, who do not believe in a god, yet still are not able to understand what he is talking about. The madman states that he is looking for God, which in turn causes the atheists to mock him with questions such as “Did he lose his way like a child,” (181). The madman’s answer to their questions is that god is not anywhere, because everyone has killed him. At this there is no more dialogue from the crowd, as it seems they have become entrapped his speech and can not comprehend that they themselves have indeed killed god.
The emotional twists like when Clary and Jace, who are falling in love, realize they are siblings are really expressive. The regular plot twists like when the enemy Valentine ends up being one of them keep you involved in the book. Overall the plot is very clever and can’t be easily predicted making the book very exciting. The theme of this book is to push on because the characters caters are always being confused and turned around by Valentine's tricks. If the characters will push on they would eventually get to him and be able to fight him for real.

Lu Xun’s story “Diary of a Madman” serves to demonstrate his discontent with traditional Chinese cultural, not only by the fact that it clearly addresses the incidence of cannibalism that is believed to have occurred but also symbolizes the oppressive nature of Confucian principles.Lu Xun’s madman has the ability to recognize the oppressive elements of Chinese Confucian culture serves to mock established but out-dated traditional scholarship and symbolizes the greater wisdom of cultural reform, especially as it is advanced by modern intellectuals of the period.
At the beginning, the book is set up very dark and dreary, I don't like the vibe. It sets a theme of Evil and the Holmes character is creepy.
