Book Reviews of Tipping the Velvet: A Novel
Book Review: Very Well Done !
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love how Sarah describe the 1880s it really is a pleasant read and I couldn't put it down. I read it all in one day and I just completely fell in love with it. 'Til I moved on to another book at least (heh). I really felt it when the main character Nancy was hurt by Ms. Kitty. I think I even shed a tear on that one. But I laughed when Nancy got kicked out by the widow and got annoyed again when she lied to Florence. But at the end made me smile because its a happy ending and that's always good in my book.Book Review: ???Dont Understand the Title????

Dear friends here, I am a non-native speaker of English,but I am very intererested in the book. I have a serious question to ask. If anybody can answer it, I will be very grateful and pleased. The question is: I dont understand the meaning of the title: TIPPING THE VELVET. I know what "tip" is, and I know "velvet", but I dont know what is the connotation of TIPPING VELVET. I think this image must be very important, and I am sad that I dont get it. Please teach me if you can.
Book Review: An incredibly moving love story
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never been so moved or fascinated by a story in my life. I don't read much fiction but could not put this book down. I was so drawn into the characters and their story that I almost feel like I lived in that time and actually knew them. Sarah Waters is an excellent story teller. She has a meticulous attention to detail when describing a scene or explaining a thought or feeling. When I finished the book I was thrilled to know it was out on DVD. This is truely a must READ and a must SEE classic!Book Review: Sarah Water is crazy talented, this book will enthrall you

At first I thought well this seems kinda boring, i wasn't sure I'd read it. but before long i got down to understanding why it's so enjoyable. it's sexy, and the characters are so real. the writing is excellent. When i was feeling down I could escape straight away into this novel, which contained an entire world of its own for me to explore. The protagonist is tough and an excellent role model for young lesbians and for other people of all ages and sexual orientations as well. So glad I read it!Book Review: Awesome Book!

I just finished reading this book and I can't begin to describe how much I enjoyed it. I literally had to force myself to put it down. Sometimes one has to travel through extremes, without really appreciating or understanding, what those extremes are until, when a certain point in life has arrived.
I watched the dvd first, I bought it after watching the Fingersmith on dvd, and I just had to buy the book. Now, I have to watch the dvd AGAIN! Sarah Waters is awesome!
