Book Reviews of The Haunted Hotel (Classic Books on Cassettes Collection) [UNABRIDGED] (Classic Books on Cassettes Collection)
Book Review: Saccharine Gothicism
Summary: 3 Stars
When I purchased this book I was hoping for a "detective" novel, as Wilkie Collins is considered the father of the English detective novel. His novel "The Moonstone" is his most famous for this reason. However, the storyline to "The Haunted Hotel" sounded more interesting to me than "The Moonstone" so I bought it instead.
If you're hoping to read a detective novel, don't buy this. There isn't an ounce of detection, logic or even an understanding of human nature in this work. Nor is there any significant character development of any kind. On the other hand, if you like Gothic literature and don't care a jot about character development, buy the novel and godspeed. This IS a page turner, but almost everything about this novel is so predictably facile that it almost doesn't bear reading.
My advice is that if you want something serious, steer clear of this one. If you need a brain candy alternative to TV, this is probably a good bet.
Summary of The Haunted Hotel (Classic Books on Cassettes Collection) [UNABRIDGED] (Classic Books on Cassettes Collection)
Is there no explanation of the mystery of The Haunted Hotel? Is The Haunted Hotel the tale of a haunting -- or the tale of a crime? The ghost of Lord Montberry haunts the Palace Hotel in Venice --- or does it? Montberry's beautiful-yet-terrifying wife, the Countess Narona, and her erstwhile brother are the center of the terror that fills the Palace Hotel. Are their malefactions at the root of the haunting -- or is there something darker, something much more unknowable at work? (Jacketless library hardcover.)Horror Books
