Book Review of Fingersmith

Fingersmith
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


Again, Sarah Waters shows us how a movie can be vividly playing in your mind as you read her work. Every last detail is written to come alive; and it does.

This is not a book to kill time. This is a book that will draw you in, rise you up and let you fall, let you love then hate then perhaps love the character again, and finally you will stop guessing what may be coming around on the next pages because the book will always prevail... and the only way to know what actually happens in the keep reading.

This book is nothing short of phenomenal. The characters, settings, plot, and feeling of the era are in effect around you from the moment you open the cover.
